On 15-16 January, 2009 the FP7 project ACCESSIBLE held its 2nd official plenary meeting in Genoa, Italy which organised by SOFTECO. As the second official project meeting, the discussion included both the technical aspects, such as the administrative and financial side, as well as the more substantive issue of the research to be undertaken. This research encompasses theoretical as well as more technical aspects, dealing with: the accessibility assessment of ICT applications and the current challenges with European accessibility standards and practices. Finally, this meeting forged an important link with Prof Julio Abascal from the Laboratory of Human-Computer Interaction for Special Needs, University of the Basque Country (Dept. of Computer Architecture & Technology) who joined the meeting upon CERTH/ITI’s invitation. Prof. Abascal has been invited as an external accessibility expert (his laboratory is the oldest accessibility laboratory in Spain) in order to receive important feedback from an accessibility expert point of view for the ACCESSIBLE research and technological implementations as well as to explore further collaboration between ACCESSIBLE project and his research team.
