Hi all,
Last Call for Submissions
The Web Accessibility Initiative - Communities of Practice (WAI-CooP)
Project and the W3C Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working
Group invite you to contribute to and participate in the online research
symposium:
Shape the Future: Research and Development Questions in Digital
Accessibility
10 November 2021, 14:00 to 17:00 Central European Time (CET),
online
https://www.w3.org/WAI/about/projects/wai-coop/symposium1/
This online symposium brings together researchers, academics, industry,
government, and people with disabilities, to explore the current
state-of-the-art in accessibility research, development, and practice to
uncover pressing topics for future research and development.
Another goal of this symposium is to explore potential gaps between the
topics discussed by researchers and practitioners. By increasing
awareness to the challenges faced by all communities, collaborations
could emerge and improve the current state of accessibility research and
practice.
We invite position papers, of no more than 1500 words, discussing these
topics using real-life settings and raising current issues and needs for
discussion. Papers can be submitted until 6 October 2021. Authors of
accepted submissions will be notified by 27 October 2021.
Paper preparation instructions are available from the symposium page
