The European Commission's Directorate-General for Information Society and Media has published a call for tenders for a study on the internal market for inclusive and assistive information and communication technology (ICT), targeted market analysis and legislative aspects.

This will support European policy goals on e-inclusion. The study should: - gather representative evidence on the market for assistive technology (AT) products and services in Europe, including market mechanisms; - analyse barriers and opportunities in relation to social and economic impact associated with the use of AT; - propose recommendations for improvement, building on the advice of experts and relevant stakeholders.For further information, please contact: European Commission Information Society and Media DG Unit H3: e-Inclusion Attn: Mr Miguel Gonzalez-Sancho Avenue du Bourget 1-3, BU31 01/66 B-1049 Brussels Tel. +32 2 296 5470 Fax +32 2 295 1300 E-mail: infso-h3@ec.europa.eu To see the full details of the call, please consult the following web address: http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:153967-2009:TEXT:EN:HTML(opens in new window)
