ETNA-European Thematic Network on Assistive Information Technology

A Thematic Network supported by the European Commission through the CIP ICT-PSP programme (project 270746)

Over a period of 3 years, it worked at establishing a European Web Portal providing unified access to information on ICT assistive products and related organisations and services all over Europe, and to allow access to repositories of freeware, open source software products and tools useful for e-accessibility. The Portal was intended to upgrade the already-existing web portal of the European Assistive Technology Information Network (EASTIN), the most comprehensive information service on assistive technology worldwide.

eAccess+ Project

The network has a special focus on three topics within the wide range of issues of eAccessibility:

    • Web accessibility
    • Accessible convergent communications and accessible digital audio-visual systems
    • Self-service terminals (SSTs) and devices for banking and financial services, public transport, tourism and cultural heritage, e-government
