Inclusive Public Activities for information and Communication Technologies (IPACT)

在全球范围内，有12亿人患有某种形式的残疾，这些需要辅助技术的人中只有10%能够获得辅助技术。残疾人互动（DIX）宣言将AT规定中的这一差距定义为“目前世界面临的最紧迫问题之一”[参考文献]。DIX建议与残疾人社区开放和共同创造AT解决方案，以此来解决许多残疾人面临的耻辱和社会排斥问题，同时也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，以支持残疾人参与信息通信技术研究。该项目的总体目标是促进研究人员与公众在信息通信技术研究和创新方面的合作，特别是与残疾人的合作。我们的目标是通过以下方式实现这一目标：(i)通过公众宣传和参与活动，共同设计一个训练营培训，包括调查、访谈、焦点小组和研讨会；（ii）为残疾人建立一个训练营培训，并进行研究；（iii）为非残疾人研究人员建立一个训练营培训，与残疾人一起工作，并为他们服务。（iv）举办一系列外联活动，记录残疾人和边缘化的生活经历，并通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未来研究计划的发展。该小组将由残疾人、残疾创新领域的研究专家和行业领袖组成，每个人都将贡献他们的经验和专业知识，以进一步推进残疾研究和创新议程。

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.
