LIVE IT (Living Labs & Open Toolkit for the co-design of accessible computer systems and tools to support people with cognitive disabilities) is a research project co-funded by the European Union and is about digital accessibility of people with cognitive disabilities. It aims to create an online community of people interested in or working in the field of internet access without exclusions. The open online community of the project is available through the following link (makerspace).
As part of our desire to collaborate and share experiences and ideas with policy makers, developers, professionals and other stakeholders, we invite you to participate in the 3rd online Hackathon that will be held from 11/2 to 18/2.
