The scope of WG13.3 includes the following activities:
- coordination and exchange of information about our field with other relevant institutions, including government, NGOs, education and industry;
- using an HCI orientation to enable people with disabilities and older adults to use digital technologies and complementary tools for positive advantage;
- promotion of the importance of accessibility, usability and positive user experience in the design of digital technologies.
- providing opportunities for researchers, practitioners and students interested in our field to network, collaborate and learn from each other
- provide training and support for researchers, practitioners and students new to our field
These activities are practically achieved in the following ways:
- a regular newsletter with information about events, publications, links to coverage of our field in the news and other relevant items (previous newsletters are available from the Newsletters tab OR LINK?)
- workshops organized at the biannual IFIP TC13 INTERACT Conference
- annual meetings organized at the INTERACT Conference or in alternate years at the ICCHP Conference
- Online courses organised each year providing an introduction to working with people with disabilities and older adults
