The Association for the Advancements of Assistive Technology in Europe (AAATE), the Global Alliance of Assistive Technology Organizations (GAATO), and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), invite users and professionals, as well as researchers, innovators and developers around the world to explore how emerging technologies are shaping the landscape of the assistive technology field. A series of three workshops will be held online via ZOOM. Each workshop will focus on a specific area of assistive technology application, including communication, cognition, and self-care.
