Total Conversation and e-Accessible Emergency Services

An information meeting in support of the 2008 ICT-PSP programme pilot on 'total conversation' 14h00, 30th January 2008, Avenue de Beaulieu 25, room S1, 1160 Brussels.
The ICT for Inclusion unit of the European Commission is organising an information meeting on "Total Conversation" and on "E-Accessible Emergency Services". This meeting is relevant for representatives of ICT industry, Emergency Services authorities/organisations, leading stakeholders in accessible multimedia communications solutions, user representatives, as well as any other organisations interested in increasing accessibility in electronic communications and emergency services.

The aim of the meeting is to discuss issues to be solved when real-time multimedia inclusive technology meets electronic communications (Total Conversation) and Emergency Services to offer an accessible user experience ( e.g. "112 accessible for all") . Issues can include:

  • Delivery of accessibility by a multimedia service like Total Conversation
  • Technical, organisational and regulatory issues
  • Criteria for technology and solutions to realise Total Conversation and accessible Emergency
  • Services for all groups of users
  • State of play in Europe and internationally
  • Opportunities for total conversation/emergency services deployment pilots validating innovation, interoperability, cost-effectiveness, and user acceptance

This is an open meeting (as far as space is available). Attendance is first come, first served - we will tell you if you have been successfully registered. Should you wish to forward this invitation to relevant organisations please feel free to do so.

This meeting is in the context of the actions of the European e-Inclusion Initiative, namely:

  • the call by the Commission to ICT industry to rapidly commit to putting in place, in the 2008-2010 timeframe, privacy-friendly solutions for persons with sensory, physical, motor and/ or cognitive restrictions to make use of electronic communications ('total conversation') notably to safeguard access to emergency services and interoperability (in line with the proposed revision of the e‑Communications Directives), building on their current cooperation with users, and
  • the intention of the Commission to co-finance in the 2008 ICT-PSP programme a pilot on 'total conversation'.
