VODAPHONE FOUNDATION LAUNCHES EU SMART ACESSIBILTY AWARDS WITH AGE AND EDF
14 June 2011 /// In the week of the first EU Digital Assembly in Brussels,
Vodafone Foundation is launching the Smart Accessibility Awards. This is a new
competition to promote the development of IT applications designed to improve
the lives of people with disabilities and older people to help them become more
actively involved in society.
The programme is supported and co-organized by AGE Platform Europe, the
European network of around 160 organisations of and for people aged 50+, and
the European Disability Forum (EDF), the NGO that represents the interests of
80 million Europeans with disabilities.
Launched in Brussels, the competition will award the best smartphone
application across four different categories as follows:
1. Social participation: This refers to applications which help users to
participate actively in today's society and benefit from the facilities that
the new technologies can offer, whatever their age, disability and/or capacity
(E.g. use the web and social media through mobile devices, contact people using
mobile devices to the same extent as everyone, etc).
2. Independent living: This refers to applications which help users to be more
autonomous and perform daily tasks independently (E.g. using domestic
appliances such as washing machine or refrigerator, opening doors safely, etc).
3. Mobility: This refers to applications which enable users to move around more
freely and safely using the whole range of transport modes. It can also refer
to the use of mobile devices to be guided in unknown environment (e.g. using
GPS option, etc).
4. Wellbeing: This refers to applications which improve the users' health and
as well as overall feeling of wellbeing.
The total prize fund of €200k will be split equally between the four winners.
The competition is open from 14 June 2011 to 15 October 2011. All qualifying
entries will be evaluated in November by a jury, consisting of representatives
from AGE Platform Europe, European Disability Forum and Vodafone Foundation.
Twelve finalists will be selected and requested to present their application
before the final jury in Brussels in early December at a live final, where the
four overall winners will be chosen.
