How to become a supporter?

Who can be a supporter?

Any local, regional, national, European or international organization working in a field related to ICT Assistive Technologies and inclusive solutions, willing to interchange knowledge and experience with ATIS4all partners and supporters, as well as to contribute to our future collaborative portal.

What is the role of a supporter?

An ATIS4all supporting organization is linked to our network and future collaborative portal, and may contribute in a voluntary basis mainly in one or several of the following activities:

  • Gathering relevant information for nourishing and updating the contents of the portal, providing a more European-wide and international approach to our contents.
  • Participating in our "collaborative tools", namely the Market place forum, the R&D; forum or the Community blog, expressing opinions, fostering debates and interchanging ideas with partners, other supporters and end users of the portal.
  • Contributing to disseminate the activity of the ATIS4all network and associated portal, providing a more international impact of our activities.

What are the responsibilities of a supporter?

The ATIS4all supporters have not direct responsibilities, because all contributions from supporters are made in a voluntary basis.

From the ATIS4all consortium, we consider that the only responsibility is strategically support our initiative in the best way the supporter can do: spreading our ideas, bringing more supporters to the portal, participating in our workshops, mentioning our activity in any dissemination material you can produce, and whatever new idea you can have to contribute to our network and portal.

What are the advantages of being an ATIS4all supporter?

Most of the advantages are intangible assets.

  • Supporters can attend our workshops and receive direct information on our activities.
  • Supporters can participate in our debates and in the decision taking processes regarding the future ATIS4all portal
  • Supporters have priority in accessing to our contents and future collaborative tools in the ATIS4all portal, mainly the Community blog.
  • Supporters can suggest new supporting organizations, new resources and new sections in the portal.
  • Supporters are included in the Consortium area of the ATIS4all website and all of them will be part of the first release of the portal in 2013. They will be the core community of the final ATIS4all collaborative portal.
