All items catalogued by the Network have been developed by the AccessCat research groups and are based on their scientific research.
Since its creation in 2023, the Network has managed to catalogue 10 technologies, 15 services, and 30 online and open educational resources, all developed by the AccessCat research groups. Since its inception, the Network’s mission has been to catalogue, disseminate, and transfer all these services, technologies, and resources, which you may view on the Network’s online catalogue, now updated thanks to an exhaustive revision that includes the progress groups have made, as well as redesigned templates to make looking for information clearer.
Moreover, after incorporating LSC Lab (UPF) into the Network, the catalogue has added seven new resources and a new service, created by the researchers in that group. They are:
- LSC-UPF Actua. Counseling, training, and dissemination in the field of sign language: Service that provides counsel, training, and dissemination in the field of sign languages in general, and Catalan Sign Language in particular.
- Bilingualism FAQS (sign language-oral language): Repository in the form of questions and answers on bilingualism in general and, in particular, bilingualism in Deaf children.
- LSC for All: Digital resources on the linguistics of sign language, bilingualism, and education, presented in LSC (Catalan Sign Language), with tests in Catalan, Spanish, and English.
- CREA-LSC: Resource centre for the teaching and learning of LSC: Website that includes interactive micro-learning capsules on various subjects, both general and specialised, to make progress in the self-directed learning of Catalan Sign Language.
- SIGN-HUB Platform: Platform conceived as a resource hub for sign languages.
- MOOC on Catalan Sign Language: Course for the initial learning of Catalan Sign Language.
- Signosfera, every day a sign (LSC): Repository of signs in the field of law in Catalan Sign Language.

Two more educational resources have also been added to the catalogue:

- Infographic "More Accessible Museums and Heritage": Infographic with recommendations and resources to apply current legislation on accessibility to facilities in the museum and heritage sector. Developed by researchers Andrea Granell Querol (DIDPATIR), Blanca Arias (TraDiLex), and Estel·la Oncins (TransMedia Catalonia).
The Network continues to work in order to update the catalogue with new resources, services, and technologies from the groups. To keep up-to-date, you can follow AccessCat’s social networks (LinkedIn and X/Twitter), where future updates will be posted.
