What we do

We work with people and partners across research, industry, civil society, and the public sector to prevent barriers and promote inclusion. We support open and collaborative approaches to designing, developing, and sharing resources and products that advance digital equity and improve people’s quality of life.

We’re currently working on:

  • Inclusive Digital Infrastructure & Tools
    • Morphic. Free, open-source cross-platform personalization solution enabling users to instantly adapt devices to their needs across public and workforce environments. Watch the Morphic video.
    • AT-on-Demand (AToD). Free, open-source service integrated with Morphic that provides users with the assistive technologies they need on any PC or Mac, regardless of what is installed. Watch the demo.
    • Learn and Try tool. AT tool finder to help individuals discover and activate accessibility technologies that work best for them.
  • Research & Scalable Inclusion Innovation
    • Unique Centered Design (U*CD). Guide to design with the whole person in mind, for people’s realities – their identity, context, abilities, and how these change over time – to make digital products truly inclusive and effective. (U*CD Guide)
    • ITHACA. Collaborative project advancing inclusive digital civic participation through cross-country research and implementation.
    • iGAME. Collaborative project developing inclusive digital and hybrid gaming experiences for the cultural and creative sectors. It ensures accessibility and meaningful inclusion of diverse and underrepresented audiences in its tools and pilots.

    • Coding to Learn and Create. Designing educational coding tools for kids who have been left out of learning—especially those with complex needs.
    • Inclusive Learning. Developing new IT-based tools and methodologies to address students’ diversity in vocational education centres.
    • SmartWork. Supporting active and healthy ageing at work for older office workers, through a suite of smart services, building a Worker-Centric AI System for work ability sustainability. (Horizon 2020).
    • UI Options. Adapting the user interface to meet diverse and variable personal needs ( led by IDRC).
    • DeveloperSpace. A common space for those wanting to learn about or develop new solutions (a GPII project).
    • Unified Listing. A comprehensive compilation of ICT accessibility tools from around the world (a GPII project)
    • Global AT Data Collaboration. Participation in collaborative efforts to promote AT databases for every country.

This work is made possible through the support and collaboration of our funders, consortium partners, advisors, and colleagues across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. It reflects sustained cooperation among research centers, universities, private institutions and companies, data protection authorities, public bodies, and civil society organizations committed to advancing shared objectives.
