AT 2030: Life Changing Assistive Technology for All
The AT 2030 programme focuses on Life Changing Assistive Technology for All. Its aim is to reach over 3 million people (in particular, people with disabilities), testing new approaches and backing ‘what works’ to get assistive technology (AT) to those who need it. AT 2030 is being delivered by a global partnership including; WHO, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, UNICEF and some of the world’s best AT innovators, universities and disability NGOs and Disabled People’s Organizations (DPOs). It aims to develop new approaches which can transform access to life-changing assistive technology (AT) such as wheelchairs, prosthetics, hearing aids, glasses and digital assistance (including smart phones and accessible software) by creating partnerships to build and shape markets, strengthen public infrastructure and support community participation.
Transition to Sustainable Urban Mobility (T-SUM)
This collaborative research workshop as part of a wider Swedish Research Council-funded network in East and West Africa, brings together local stakeholders, the University of Gothenburg, University College London, and the Sierra Leone Urban Research Centre (SLURC). It focuses on Freetown, where sand is sourced from beaches and rivers. The session harnesses local knowledge and explore the specific dynamics of sand extraction in the region, build a research agenda, and discusses sustainable policy futures. The insights gathered contribute to both local action and the global knowledge to avert the sand crisis.
