Ongoing European research on Digital Skills, Accommodation and Technological Assistance for Employment (DATA)

About the research

EDF will conduct European research supported by Google.org on Digital Skills, Accommodation and Technological Assistance for Employment (DATA).
With this research, we aim at understanding the link between employment, digital skills, accessible and assistive technologies to propose solutions. These solutions must be advocated to policy makers and shared with relevant stakeholders, especially employers, the disability movement across Europe and technological companies developing assistive and accessibility solutions.

Main activities and outcomes

European research
Report from the research
Awareness raising campaign at European and national level.

The findings will be translated into a report which will include recommendations for EU, national policies and technological and digital companies.

The research and awareness raising will enable EDF and our member organisations from Europe to better influence significant policies and empower implementation of practical solutions directly in Member States. All this will lead to systemic change in the employment of persons with disabilities in Europe.
