Our Mission
Our mission is to support NGI funded projects to make their new media solutions accessible for everyone. So if you are working on a Next Generation Internet (NGI.eu) funded project, we invite you to produce a safe, secure, open and accessible end product.
A product that people can trust and everyone can use, including people with a (visual, auditory, motor or other) disability. This is important now that our NGI journey goes beyond the web and mobile applications, to include a flood of connected devices on the outside and inside of our bodies, vehicles, buildings and infrastructure.
Our Services
Accessibility Quickscan
Get a report on the accessibility of your project results or tips to optimize accessibility during your project
Collaboration on Accessibility
Ask our experts and users to help you during your project. Don't wait until the end. Invite users (with disabilities) from the start of your project.
E-learning & Training
Spend 45 minutes on our e-learning or follow a specialized course to learn the basics of accessibility
Student or research support
Ask students and researchers to support you and provide them with an opportunity to help and learn
Design best practices
Help other NGI Zero projects by sharing your best-practices based on your efforts to implement accessibility
Certification
If your quickscan results show no barriers, we can provide you with a formal accessibility certification
Pricing
The EU facilitates us, so we do not charge anything for our help. However, we would appreciate to hear back from you about what worked and what did not work. And, it would be great if our students could maybe help you in the form of a semester study assignment, internship or if you could present your product and experiences to our team and network. Also if you learn about any new accessibility solutions, we would love to hear about it.
