Shape the Future research symposium: Last Call for Submissions

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 
available at https://www.w3.org/WAI/about/projects/wai-coop/symposium1/

Papers are to be submitted through the symposium submission management 
system available at https://www.openconf.org/waicoop1/ until 6 October 2021.
