it-EDeAN
The e-Inclusion Lab is the Italian National Contact Center of EDeAN, the European Design for All and e-Accessibility Network.
EDeAN aims at raising the profile of Design for All and emphasizing its importance in achieving greater e-Accessibility.
EDeAN National Contact Centers (NCC) form the primary nodes of this European network. Each NCC is also responsible for establishing national Design for All e-Accessibility networks in their own countries and promote the exchange of experiences between all interested parties through a national website.
EDeAN Secretariat duties rotate annually. In 2007 the Secretariat is run by the e-Inclusion Laboratory, part of the Institute of Applied Physics (IFAC) in Italy.
The Italian EDeAN network website (http://www.it-edean.ifac.cnr.it) was designed and implemented by the e-Inclusion Lab at IFAC and is accessible according to the WAI guidelines. It is also a demonstration of a technical approach based on adaptability and adaptivity that enables the implementation of web services whilst following the principles of Design for All. The main characteristics of the website include the adaptation of the presentation to different devices, such as mobile phones and PDA, and the personalisation taking into account user needs and preferences.
