On Monday 12th September 2016, the Research Institute Technology and
Disability (FTB), one of the founding members of the Association for theAdvancement of Assistive Technology in Europe (AAATE) celebrated its 25th
anniversary in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Dr Peter Cudd, President of AAATE and Senior Researcher within CATCH
delivered the congratulations of the board on behalf of the organisation to FTB
and 300 guests including the President of the North Rhine-Westfalia (NRW)
Parliament and the Social Minister of NRW.
Peter honoured the contributions of FTB hosting the AAATE 1999
conference alongside REHACARE in Düsseldorf and the important activities during
the presidency of Christian Bühler (FTB). During his period, the international
agreement on cooperation with RESNA and RESJA – the Tokushima Agreement – was
signed and the continuation of EU calls in the organisation’s research field
was achieved.
Around 300 guests attended the ceremony. The afternoon session
“Technology for Inclusion and Participation” provided perspectives of user
experts with disabilities, service providers, policy and research. It became
very obvious that AT and accessibility are appreciated by the experts but need
further development and implementation.
