Assistive technology: creating and engaging collaborative communities

Yes / This paper outlines the remit of the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences
Research Council KT-EQUAL (Knowledge Transfer for Extending Quality of Life for
older and disabled people) programme.
Case examples drawing on the range of activities undertaken by KT-EQUAL
highlight where assistive technology developments have been facilitated, the value of
network activities and an underpinning model of engagement and collaboration.
Given an increasing emphasis on the impact of research the model and innovative
approaches deployed by KT-EQUAL are even more crucial in future developments
which aim to ensure that research can be used to benefit society.
