===Importance===
The CARDIAC dialogues were very influential for the domain of Accessible & Assistive ICT because they have been used by the EC to choose and draft calls for proposals for Priority 7 of FP7, thus influencing the distribution of about 7 billion euros.
===Geographic Coverage===
* Switzerland
* Cyprus
* United Kingdom
* Spain
* Portugal
* Israel
* Italy
* Germany
* Norway
* Greece
===Links to the original Results===
The results of the dialogues of the project are available as follows:

Besides the application of such “solutions”, some industrial companies have established structures and procedures in their organisation that take care of accessibility aspects, be it a part of their product philosophy or just a matter of quality assurance. These can also include cooperation with other organisations from the same technological area, e.g. in associations like DIGITAL EUROPE, with research organisations, with user oriented organisations or with assistive technology companies.
