The AccessCat Network and its members organise and participate in different types of activities and actions.
Some activities are addressed to the public—such as awareness-raising activities, demonstrations, showcases, and some training activities—and some actions are carried out within the research groups—such as international missions or standardisation activities.
Activities organised by researchers in the network in order to spread their knowledge on accessibility to society. The goal is to raise awareness on how important it is for everyone to have access to communication and information, as well as to offer innovative solutions.
Activities abroad through which researchers in the network acquire new abilities and knowledge that will help them transfer their specific research to society.
Researchers in the network participate in drafting regulations, standards, or high-level documents in European and international bodies (ISO, UNE, ITU, CEN, EBU…) to ensure accessibility is taken into account in public policies.
Capsules or training sessions on accessibility to information and communication geared towards companies, institutions, and entities. There is also training for researchers in the network on how to evaluate and transfer research results.
Contest addressed to researchers in the network to fund and support innovative proposals that find solutions to issues related to accessibility to communication and information.
Activities held by researchers in the network at fairs, congresses and conferences to show the technologies and services created by the research groups.
Barcelona
A workshop organised by the research group Nodes, inviting participants to explore the neighbourhood of Poblenou (Barcelona) through the lens of care. This collective mapping exercise seeks to understand how care circulates, how it is made visible or invisible, the relationships it generates, and the traces it leaves in public space, among other aspects.
Fira Barcelona
The AccessCat Network will have a booth at the Smart City Expo World Congress, a global benchmark event in terms of intelligent cities and future urbanism. Researchers from the Network will present their technologies and services to attending companies, institutions, and organisations. Very soon, we’ll publish the schedule of presentations from our groups.
Madrid | University of Salamanca
The director of the AccessCat Network, Anna Matamala, will participate in the CEAPAT Events Week at a round table on cognitive accessibility and in the VI International Congress on University and Disability to speak about accessibility and translation technology.
Riga, Latvia
Pilar Orero, researcher at Transmedia Catalonia, will travel to Riga (Latvia) to participate in the 5G Techritory Forum to liaise with 5G market leaders and identify possible research transfer to the business sector on research results regarding accessibility to the metaverse.
