INVITATION
Having affordable accessibility support into mainstream ICT devices/applications is much wanted in the disability community. Accessible devices and applications offer the backbone to many people with disabilities across Europe and beyond to maintain their autonomy as this is associated to a better quality of life.
Supported by the 7th Framework Programme on Research and Technological Development of the European Union, the ĘGIS (Open Source-based Generalised Accessibility Support for Mainstream ICT) project aims to develop an Open Accessibility Framework (OAF) through which aspects of the design, development and deployment of accessible mainstream ICT are addressed. The OAF will provide developers with embedded and built-in accessibility solutions, as well as toolkits for "engraving" accessibility in existing and emerging mass-market ICT-based products, thus making accessibility open, plug and play, personalised and configurable, realistic and applicable in various contexts. Simultaneously, the project will provide Open Source Accessible Desktop Applications to the end-users (people with disabilities, older people)
On behalf of the ĘGIS Consortium, we kindly invite you to participate in its first Pan-European Workshop that will take place on Friday 5th June 2009 at Research In Motion UK Ltd, Slough, Berkshire, United Kingdom.
