Type of Project: Funded project
Description / Topics
The EASTIN project refers to the creation of a Internet-based trans-european information network on assistive technologies (AT) for people with disabilities.
Building up such network will result from the joint effort of the major information providers in this field across Europe - each of them already running an information system with national coverage in their own Country - in order to achieve a trans-European dimension that capitalises on each other experience and makes the whole amount of information available and usable by any citizen from any European Country.
The EASTIN project is concerned with the market validation stage of such network
(in relation to aspects such as contents relevance, effectiveness, usability, accessibility, interoperability, multilingualism, trans-cultural validity) as the network needs sound testing and refinements prior to be launched as a trans-european public service.
The aim of the network is to provide detailed and comprehensive information on existing AT products, on their availability on the European market, on regulations for public provision and financing, as well as guidance for their appropriate choice and application to solve people's individual needs.
