The Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe (AAATE) are holding their 7th Conference in Dublin in 2003. Since its inception in 1995, AAATE has been in the forefront of the European research community in the development of Assistive Technology.

AAATE membership has significantly grown since its formation. Its sister organisations are RESNA (North America), ARATA (Australia) and RESJA (Japan). These opportunities to exchange expertise are essential to those working in the AT field.

AAATE was constituted to stimulate the advancement of assistive technology for the benefit of persons with disabilities including elderly people, its activities include

• Creating awareness of assistive technology
• Promoting research and development of assistive technology
• Contributing to knowledge exchange within the field of assitive technology by hosting conferences, producing the AAATE newsletter and maintaining a network of contacts throughout Europe
