Program
The workshop will begin with a scientific symposium that reviews the state-of-the art, the history and future prospects of technologies for a barrier-free world. Following the scientific symposium, we will celebrate and agitate! We expect personalities from the media, arts, music, and government to celebrate how far we have come and raise awareness for what more needs to be done.
The symposium will be held in the Kurhaus in Baden-Baden, Germany (http://www.kurhauscasino.de/en/homepage).
All the Lectures and Keynotes are to be found here!
