EDeAN Objectives

The “European Design for All e-Accessibility Network”
(http://www.edean.org)

Established in 2002 by the European Commission
and the member states in order to :




Raise the profile of Design For All (DfA) and emphasize its
importance in achieving greater accessibility in the
Information Society for as many people as possible ;

DfA in the Information Society

Broad and multidisciplinary connotation, abstracting over
different perspectives ; design (Bühler & Stepahnidis, 2004)




of interactive products, services and applications
of products, which have standardized interfaces
of products which are easily adaptable to different users.
In the Information Society, the adoption and practice of
DfA, although advocated by many actors in the field, still
presents significant challenges, due to the inherent
characteristics of the sector, and in particular to established
industry practice and curriculum for DfA.

EDeAN Working Principles

While the NCCs are the primary contact for the network
within their respective countries at a national level, the
Secretariat coordinates the European Network contacts at
the European level.

Secretariat management rotates yearly :

2005 : EDeAN Secretariat was run by ICS-FORTH (Greece) ;

2006 : “ “ is run by STAKES, R&D Centre for Health and Welfare
(Finlande) ;

2007 : “” will run by CNR-IFAC (Italy).
