ETNA (270746) - European Thematic Network on Assistive Information and Communication TechnologiesEuropean Commission, CIP-ICT-PSP-2009-4
ETNA objectives - general
• European Web Portal on ICT-related assistive products and e-accessibility solutions
Unified access to databases of products, databases of components, software repositories
Platform to connect users, professionals, developers, researchers for sharing expertise, view, resources (to solve specific problems, to develop new solutions, to support the advancement of the ICT AT field)

Prospective impact
make information more transparent, easily available to users
Help advancement of assistive solutions at various levels general-purpose accessibility solutions; specialized solutions for given
impairments or activities; ad-hoc solutions for complex individual cases; …
Facilitate users’ participation, allow users’ feedback, capture the users’ viewpoint
Help mainstream IT developers to create more accessible products
Help overcome fragmentation in the AT market.

ETNA (270746) - European Thematic Network on Assistive Information and Communication TechnologiesEuropean Commission, CIP-ICT-PSP-2009-4
A six-steps approach
1. Identify information needs2. Identify available resources 3. Define a common method to describe products4. Define a common method to describe components5. Implement unified access to all resources6. Validate / refine the Portal
In parallel:1. Gradually develop the portal (m3, m12, m24, m30, m36)2. Activate / keep running the community (webinars, forums etc)
