Autumn dusk, candlelight and … exciting things happening!

Just when it feels like the perfect time to curl up on the sofa with a good book, we’ve been awarded funding for several new projects. Rapid technological development calls for extensive testing, while the European Commission is preparing the next steps in its policy work. Welcome to find out more about some of the things we’re working on right now.

After many years of organising events, we are baffled by the poor quality of many speakers’ visual presentations. Basic accessibility issues that would never pass muster on a website are commonplace in presentations. In this webinar, we will share practical recommendations to help ensure that everyone in the audience has a fair chance of understanding your message.
