Unlimited! 3 – Innovation for Access: New Interactions

2 July 2020 - 3 July 2020

Unlimited! 3 – Innovation for Access: New Interactions

The third Unlimited conference entitled Innovation for Access: New Interactions will be held at the University of Antwerp on July 2-3, 2020. Extended deadline for abstracts: January 6, 2020.

About the conference series

The Unlimited! conferences are an opportunity to discuss research, practice, policy and technological innovation regarding the accessibility of live events and broadcasts. Stakeholders from varying backgrounds and domains come together to pinpoint challenges, share best practices and explore convergences and new collaborations about a growing range of services and products that make live events and broadcasts more accessible for diverse audiences – think of audio description, audio surtitling, audio subtitling, surtitling and sign language. The first Unlimited! conference was organized by the TricS research group of the University of Antwerp on April 26, 2016. The second Unlimited! conference was held in Barcelona on June 6, 2018 and was a cooperation between the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and the EU-funded project Accessible Culture and Training (ACT).
