AccessCat expands and updates the catalogue of accessibility services, technologies, and resources

All items catalogued by the network have been developed by our groups and based on their research. The catalogue has been expanded with new items, such as the AccessCat decalogue on accessibility to street art or the infographic More Accessible Museums and Heritage. Additionally, our catalogued technologies have been updated with the progress made by the researchers and redesigned to improve its clarity.
