software, services and managed operation solutions that
monitor and optimize Web content, quality and regulatory
compliance, will deliver a presentation on embedding
accessibility in mainstream Information Communications
Technology (ICT) at the "ICT Research and Standardization
Towards FP7" event organized by the European eInclusion
project and COPRAS, and to be held against the background of
the launch of the European 7th Framework Programme (FP7).
HiSoftware has been an active participant in the eInclusion
project, which was organized to ensure that everyone can
benefit from the opportunities offered by new information and
communications technologies.
The conference will feature speakers from the research and
standards communities, as well as from the European
Commission, and will discuss various aspects of ICT research
and standards interfacing as it relates to the FP7.
The European 'framework programmes' (FPs) are the main
financial tools through which the European Union supports
research and development activities covering almost all
scientific disciplines. The FP7 brings together all
research-related initiatives from the European Union under a
common umbrella to reach the goals of growth, competitiveness
and employment.
Kurt Sollod, HiSoftware's managing director of Europe,
Middle-East and Africa (EMEA) operations, will deliver a
presentation titled "Accessibility Testing as Part of the ICT
Process." The presentation will respond to the many risks and
opportunities that new technology opens up, and discuss the
often-distinctive needs of different individuals and groups
within society.
