The project is developing a series of roadmaps for future research and development in the area of accessible and assistive information and communication technology systems.
The CARDIAC project aspired to develop a series of roadmaps for future research and development in the area of accessible and assistive information and communication technology systems by inviting relevant stakeholders and experts from across Europe to participate in three [[Structured Dialogic Design Process|Structured Dialogic Design Processes]].


In particular it will concentrate on:
The particular focus was on:


*inclusive human-machine interactions
* inclusive human-machine interactions
*network-based applications
* network-based applications
*systems and services supporting accessibility
* systems and services supporting accessibility
*the transfer process itself, which includes the transfer of technology and the making of the business case
* the transfer process itself, which includes the transfer of technology and the making of the business case


Various techniques are being used including [[structured dialogue]] and Wiki discussion groups as well as direct contact with key players.  
Various techniques are being used including [[Structured Dialogic Design Process|Structure Democratic Dialogues]], Wiki discussion groups, experts' opinion and analysis of internally produced and external data, as well as direct contact with key players.  


===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:

In recent years, a large number of international projects had to address the need for guaranteeing accessibility and usability in user-system interaction. To this end, a number of diverse approaches, methodologies and technologies have been proposed. Many research and development activities have been carried out on different aspects of accessibility of ICT equipment and services with an Assistive Technology approach, and more recently, the Design for All approach has been explored.

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.
