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.
This year's AAL Forum in Denmark in September includes a new element: AAL Investment Forum. If you have a promising idea that you want to bring to the market, but lack the necessary financial resources to do so, the AAL Investment Forum will give you an opportunity to meet potential private investors.
If you want to present your project at the AAL Investment Forum 2010, you have only one week to go. Deadline for submitting your pitch is August 2. Selected projects will receive extensive feedback on their business plans as well as professional coaching and a master class gathering in Zürich September 1, 2010.
More information on the AAL Investment Forum and how to register, on the forum's homepage: www.aal-invest.eu
