LEAD ME Cost Action Training Schools: Winter and Summer 2020-2024
The Action will organise two specialised accessibility courses per year in summer and winter at universities and research institutes.
Over the next 4 years, the LEAD-ME winter/summer schools will address the main research questions with respect to the challenge of communication for all citizens. The schools will progress beyond current state-of-the-art understanding of:
- the existing knowledge and techniques on media accessibility;
- the best conceptual approach to media contents accessibility;
- new methodological approaches;
- experimental testing;
- accessibility in new media formats;
- media accessibility across domains such as: autonomous driving cars, tourism or culture, and testing in time of COVID;
- implications of no appliance of accessibility in media contents; and
- how to improve accessibility across economic, social, services, civil rights and community/spatial domains.
