The Laboratory
The Laboratory was founded in 2012 to promote the use of novel technologies and ensure the accessibility of university studies, including STEM, by youth with sensory, mobility and learning disabilities. In particular, our research specifically focuses on the non visual information accessibility. Within this scope, our lab’s activities are a part of the project “Towards Accessible and Inclusive Mathematics” (Principal Investigator: Prof. Anna Capietto, Mathematical Analysis Professor and Representative for Disabilities at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Turin). The research group includes a number of collaborators: 4 employees and 1 postdoctoral researchers from University of Turin, 2 secondary education teachers, 1 employee of Società Reale Mutua Assicurazioni, 2 fellowship holders from Department of Mathematics, 1 PhD student from University of Turin and Polytechnic of Turin, 1 postdoctoral researcher from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and numerous volunteers (among whom 7 visually impaired people). Only the postdoctoral researcher from University of Turin is a full time member on project activities (until May 2019). The research group is a member of CINI (Consorzio Interuniversitario Nazionale per l’Informatica) – AsTech Lab.People
