Call for proposals

DG Employment and Social AffairsPreparatory actions to combat and prevent social

exclusion / promote social inclusionThese preparatory actions should be policy-

focused (transnational exchange) rather than related to specific action to combat social exclusion directly

Aim of the call for proposals: to develop the basis for co-operation between the Member States in order to combat social exclusion

Problem

New risks for exclusion from the knowledge economy and society

Inaccessibility of new technologies (here: Information Society Technologies – IST) for certain groups of users, e.g.:– Elderly– Immigrants– Users with disabilities– Children– Etc.

Working hypothesis

It is expected, that proactively designed IST products / services, within a suitable policy context, will have a positive impact on (some) non-monetary indicators of social exclusion.

NB: InclusiveByDesign will not attempt to prove this hypothesis! From a scientific point of view, the project aims to develop certain hypotheses (technical, organisational, policy-oriented) and to deliver them as the outcome to be tested by others, i.e., the project is a type of explorative study.

Universal Design

Universal Design in the Information Society is the conscious and systematic effort to proactively apply principles and methods, and employ appropriate tools, in order to develop IT&T products and services which are accessible and usable by all citizens, thus avoiding the need for a posteriori adaptations, or specialised design.

Reactive vs. proactive

Reactive: applied on an already existing technology in order to alleviate inherent accessibility and quality problems.– Delayed– Costly– Restricted in use

Proactive: influencing the design of a new technology in a way which ensures that accessibility and quality problems are not going to appear.

Objectives

1. Identification of successful (“best practice”) examples to design, develop and promote technologies and services in the knowledge economy and society, inclusive to, and accessible by, all its citizens; and

2. Promotion of policy recommendations to stimulate, facilitate or support proactive measures in IST design, development and use towards mainstreaming employment, vocational training and education in the knowledge economy and society.

Social exclusion ...

“... goes beyond issues of unemployment and access to the labour market. It is evidenced by several types of deprivation and barriers, which alone or together prevent the full participation in areas such as education, health, environment, housing, culture, access to rights or family support, as well as training and job opportunities.”

Product / service perspective

Guiding questions: Which IST-based products / services are available in

employment, vocational training and education with a potential to combat exclusion / facilitate inclusion?

What are the key characteristics of them? How (technically and organisationally) were the results

achieved? Which are the “proactive components” in the design and

development process? How “successful” are they? What is the context which rendered them “successful”?
