CARDIAC
This FP7 project is creating a platform that can bring together the various stakeholders in the area of accessible and assistive ICT with a view of identifying R&D gaps and emerging trends and generating a research agenda roadmap.

It will identify examples of best practice and disseminate the collective wisdom of all the relevant actors through meetings, conferences and publications.

The project will look into the wide range issues that play a role in the availability of accessible and ICT from issues related to research and future research priorities, development and design issues, right through to issues relating to making the business case and the adoption or non-adoption of a particular technology or service. It will also investigate both the barriers that hamper the availability of accessible and assistive ICT and the actions that can be taken to enhance availability.

One of the main tasks of the project will be to generate research agenda roadmaps that will identify the research topics that will require support in the short, medium and long term, both in terms of raising awareness and additional funding for research activities.

The specific areas that will be investigated range from inclusive human-machine interactions (short/medium and long term), network based applications (medium and long term), systems and services supporting accessibility and the transfer process itself (short and medium term), which includes the transfer of technology and the making of the business case (short and medium term).

The project is funded by the European Commission.
