Improving accessibility and considering inclusion represent a major challenge for our society. Inclusion is not limited to people with disabilities; it also concerns seniors.
How can key players such as universities, businesses, as well as political and cultural sectors respond to the needs of those concerned to make tomorrow’s society more inclusive? How can we promote innovative initiatives that will have a real impact and measure their relevance? What are the current barriers and how can we overcome them to simplify the transition from research to innovation?
This roundtable will explore these central questions to build a fairer and more equitable society.
