On February 11th, 2026, three funded projects from the Call HORIZON-CL2-2024-TRANSFORMATIONS-01-06 met with ALFIE online to organise an event for the Global Awareness Accessibility Day 2026 (GAAD2026).
On Thursday, May 21, 2026, ΑLFIE will participate in the 15th Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). The objective of GAAD is to raise awareness of access and inclusion for the more than one billion people with disabilities.
During the meeting partners from AI4POL, SPICE, ALFIE and FORSEE discussed the topic of the event and how to shape the agenda according to the three project objectives, commonalities, and complementarities.

Participants (from top left to bottom right): Pilar Orero (ALFIE), Azadeh Shojaei (SPICE), Fernanda Sauca (AI4POL), Haris Sekeris (ALFIE), Diana Hreskó (AI4POL), Maria Eleni Skarkala (ALFIE), Johannes Mikkonen (FORSEE), Sarah McDonagh (ALFIE), and Reyhaneh Sohrabi (ALFIE).
As outcome of the meeting, the participants decided to draft a common descriptor for the GAAD event, generate a common URL, and UAB will share a template for an accessible PPT presentation for all presentations. Watch this space for more details about the event and how to join.
