Researchers

Researchers from the four partner higher education institutions (HEIs) belong to the project’s target group involved in creation and evaluation of innovative services for persons with complex communication needs (CCN). They come from multi-disciplinary fields such as computer science, speech pathology, education and rehabilitation, psychology and graphic technology and collaborate utilizing a holistic approach in problem solving and building-up know-how and knowledge capacity.

The needs of researchers include:

  • connection with all other listed target groups for the purpose of collecting their requirements as input, and experienced quality feedback; and
  • collaboration efforts to achieve multidisciplinary research and development (R&D).

The constraints of researchers are related to:

  • limited capacity (resources); and
  • limited availability of technology necessary to provide ICT-based alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) services.
