Conference Hosts The Conference is being organised on a collaborative basis by the Central Remedial Clinic (CRC), University College Dublin (UCD) and Media Lab Europe. The Central Remedial Clinic is a major national provider of assessment, therapies and other medical and non-medical services to people with disabilities throughout Ireland. Its Client Technical Services department offers user-centred evaluation, information and education in assistive technology and has played a leading role in the development and provision of AT services in Ireland.

Its purpose built campus is the venue for the conference, which is conveniently located to public transports services, including Dublin airport, as well as the City Centre. UCD is also hosting the Special Olympics in June 2003 – the first time this large-scale event has been held outside the United States. New high quality state-of-the art accessible accommodation will be available on campus for this event, which will be available for the AAATE conference. UCD and CTS are long-time collaborators in a number of research projects, including the provision of Certificate and Diploma courses in assistive technology. Click here for further information. The third collaborator in the conference is Media Lab Europe, the European research partner of the MIT Media Lab in Boston, USA. Media Lab Europe is a new, Government backed project engaged in research into new areas of opportunity being opened up by new technologies. It therefore brings a fresh insight into future possibilities for people with disabilities. Click here for further information. |
