IT Funk - IT for funksjonshemmede
IT Funk is The Norwegian Research Council's RTD-programme on ICT for people with disability.
Universal design and accessibility for all. The purpose of IT Funk is to contribute to accessibility for all, including persons with disability, to information and communication technology (ICT) and to society through the use of ICT. ICT-based products and services developed for the general market must be accessible and useful for everyone at reasonable prices. IT Funk pays special attention to areas where accessibility issues impact on a person's life chances, such as education, employment and basic services to citizens.

AAL-projects with Norwegian partners
The Ambient Assisted Living Joint programme (AAL JP) is a European research, development and innovation activity with 25 partner countries and co-funded by EC.
