ATIS4all

ATIS4all, is a European Thematic Network aiming to facilitate everyone’s access to the most suitable assistive technologies (AT) or accessibility device and service according to the user’s needs, preferences, and the contextual characteristics.

The main objectives are dynamizing the exchange of knowledge and expertise about Assistive Technologies and inclusive solutions, and sharing information among key actors and end users, by means of an open and collaborative portal.

ATIS4all works in collaboration with the ETNA Thematic Network, forming the ETNATIS Cluster.

This cluster has established a joint portal named Atis4All collaborative portal with an on-line community and a search engine. This portal is being updated and already provides information on assistive devices and services, as well as a full range of information around on assistive technologies.

New European portal on Assistive Technologies and Inclusive Solutions for All: ATIS4all collaborative portal

Building up a European entry point on ICT assistive technologies and inclusive solutions

We would like to announce the launch of a new, open European collaborative web portal, collecting information about assistive technologies and inclusive solutions for all.

The portal is being created by thematic network “ATIS4all” – Assistive Technologies and Inclusive Solutions for All – jointly with thematic network “ETNA” -European Thematic Network on Assistive Information and Communication Technologies. Both Thematic Network projects are funded European projects that began in January 2011 and will conclude in December 2013.

The joint portal takes advantage of existing repositories and other Internet resources based on ICT-AT thanks to the previous work of “EASTIN” – European Assistive Technology Information Network- and will provide registered members with functions to get information of ICT-based AT products as well as the possibility of commenting, and sharing knowledge through a “community” by means of different forums and an expert blog.
