On July 15 and 16, the partners of the AccessCoVE project met for the 2nd plenary meeting of the project (following the kick-off meeting in Thessaloniki in September 2023, and many on-line meetings).

The partners were hosted for two very dense days in the Ciminiera Meeting Room at the Department of Control and Computer Engineering, in Politecnico di Torino. The partners revised the different Workpackages and pending activities, and planned a significant number of activities for the next Autumn.

The project AccessCoVE aims to structure excellence in Vocational Education and Training in the field of Accessibility, by establishing a European multi-level innovative and constantly growing Centre of Vocational Excellence - the AccessCoVE - in the field of accessibility for individuals with disabilities.

On November 30, 2023, Politecnico di Torino organized an event on the topic of "Disability, Research, and Intersectionality", with talks by several researchers and professors who are actively involved in the field of accessibility. The event was organized in occasion of the International Day of rights of persons with disabilities.

In that context, we held a short presentation of the AccessCoVE project, its partners, its objectives, and the ways in which the project will involve the whole research community of Politecnico di Torino, and other national associations and research centers.
