Globally, there are 1.2 billion people who have some form of disability, just 10% of these people who need assistive technologies (AT) have access to it. Disability Interaction (DIX) manifesto defines this gap in AT provision as "one of the most pressing problems facing the world at the moment" [REF]. DIX proposes openness and co-creation of AT solutions with disabled communities as a way to address the stigma and social exclusion faced by many disabled people but also to promote disability inclusion in the scientific research agenda. This project builds on the DIX manifesto by bringing disabled people as collaborators and experts within academic research and innovation through a series of public engagement and knowledge exchange activities to support inclusion of disabled people in ICT research.The overarching goal of this project is to foster researcher-public collaborations, particularly with disabled people in ICT research and innovation. We aim to to achieve this by, (i) public outreach and engagement activities to co-design a bootcamp training including surveys, interviews, focus groups, and workshops, (ii) establishing a bootcamp training for disabled people with research, (iii) establishing a bootcamp training for non-disabled researchers on working with and for this population, (iv) a series of outreach activities to capture people's lived experiences of disability and marginalisation and sharing these stories through a documentary and podcast series. Through public engagement, we also aim to establish a national disability research and innovation panel to support the development of future research proposals for EPSRC. The panel will consist of disabled people, research experts in the area of disability innovation, and industry leaders, each contributing their experience and expertise to further the agenda for disability research and innovation.

在全球范围内，有12亿人患有某种形式的残疾，其中只有10%的人需要辅助技术（AT）。残疾人互动（DIX）宣言将AT提供方面的这一差距定义为“目前世界面临的最紧迫问题之一”[REF]。DIX建议开放并与残疾人社区共同创造AT解决方案，以解决许多残疾人面临的耻辱和社会排斥问题，并促进将残疾人纳入科学研究议程。该项目以DIX宣言为基础，通过一系列公众参与和知识交流活动，将残疾人作为学术研究和创新的合作者和专家，支持残疾人参与信通技术研究，其总体目标是促进研究人员与公众的合作，特别是在信通技术研究和创新方面与残疾人的合作。我们的目标是通过以下方式实现这一目标：（i）公共宣传和参与活动，以共同设计训练营培训，包括调查，访谈，焦点小组和研讨会，（ii）为残疾人建立训练营培训与研究，（iii）为非残疾研究人员建立训练营培训与这一人群合作，（iv）举办一系列外展活动，捕捉残疾人士和边缘化人士的生活经历，并透过纪录片和播客系列分享这些故事。通过公众参与，我们还旨在建立一个国家残疾研究和创新小组，以支持EPSRC未来研究提案的发展。该小组将由残疾人、残疾创新领域的研究专家和行业领导人组成，每个人都将贡献自己的经验和专业知识，以推动残疾研究和创新议程。
