Dear Colleagues
The next EQUAL Research Network Workshop will be on 11th July hosted by
Newcastle University. The workshop will be focused on navigation and
wayfinding in the built environment - the title is "Navigation: Finding
the way".
For details please go to the EQUAL Network site - www.equal.ac.uk - and
follow the links to the workshop details.
The workshop will explore recent advances in the design of systems to
assist the mobility of older people and disabled people and to improve
accessibility of buildings, transport and other physical infrastructure.
The workshop will be of interest to health care practitioners,
charitable and government bodies concerned with older and disabled
people, planners, and industry as well as researchers and academics from
construction, architecture, engineering, social sciences, medical and
health care disciplines.
There is no charge for attendance just an enthusiasm and interest in
extending the quality of life of older people and disabled people
through informed user-focused multidisciplinary research and its
application. Visitors to the UK from overseas would be especially
welcome. The EQUAL Network is open to all..
Please contact Verity Smith ([log in to unmask]) if you would like
to attend.
Kind regards
Peter Lansley
PS: For those who were not able to attend previous workshops on "vision
and deafness in the built environment", "bioengineering and mobility" or
the "EQUAL Network launch" then the presentations at those events can be
viewed through the EQUAL website.
