ATLEC will host a booth at ITAG 2013 where we will demonstrate the ATLEC outcomes.

The aim of ITAG is to bring together academics, developers, beneficiaries and practitioners to explore interactive technologies and innovate within the areas of education, health and disability. The Conference consists of four strands: Academic conference, practical workshops, gaming hackathon and an exhibition.

The conference will this year take place at the Town Hall in Nottingham City Centre on 17-18 October 2013. ITAG is coordinated by Nottingham Trent University.

This presents an ideal opportunity for ATLEC to demonstrate its innovative work in the field of ICT AT to a wide range of international key stakeholders in the field via demonstrations. In addition, as part of the conference, the innovative development of the mobile application and the matrix that has informed its development will be presented by GHI and the University of Athens.
