In brief Innosuisse IICT

The flagship is to lead to innovations by means of a user-centred approach, which support not only people with hearing, visual and cognitive impairments, but also hearing learners of sign language, and thereby emphasise the aspect of accessibility as a bidirectional concept. The flagship’s approach is a participatory one. People with disabilities are involved in all stages of the research and development cycle.
