Description
1) Objective
Interest in the development of new technological tools and digital environments is important in the field of disability. This technological and digital “boiling” is a source of opportunity for people with disabilities, because these new tools – tablets, software, robots, applications, sites, artificial intelligence (AI), etc. – can compensate for certain functional disabilities of people with disabilities (seeing, hearing, speaking, moving, finding their way…) but also helping to remove the barriers they encounter in physical and communication environments. The stakes are high because for some of these tools, it is a question of meeting expectations in the face of a particular disability situation but also of making useful devices accessible to people with disabilities useful to all as advocated by universal design, a lever for building an inclusive society.
This call for projects may concern all technological tools and digital environments that facilitate access to health and employment for people with disabilities. These may be tools for the general public as well as tools dedicated to people with disabilities, such as: software, applications, robots, technical aids, technological devices, sites, artificial intelligence (AI), etc.
This call for projects will largely concern people with disabilities regardless of the diversity of age groups (children and adults – excluding the elderly) and/or the types and degrees of disability (physical, sensory, intellectual, cognitive and psychological).
To meet this main objective, projects will be able to fall within one and/or the other of these two axes:
AXIS 1 – The participatory and universal design of technological tools and digital environments;
AXIS 2 – The uses and satisfaction of technological tools and digital environments by people with disabilities.
2) Eligibility
Eligible are organisations.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
Grants may range up to €100,000.
5) Application
