Disability and the Majority World: The 2nd International Conference

Date: 26th- 27th September, 2012

Venue: Manchester Metropolitan University, United Kingdom

We are pleased to confirm that the 2nd international conference 'Disability and the Majority World' will be held at Manchester Metropolitan University. The conference seeks to bring together researchers, disability activists, practitioners, organisations, and others from various fields, to discuss a range of key and emerging themes around disability in the global South. It provides a much needed inter-disciplinary, critical, supportive and open space to debate, question and challenge, while exploring alternatives in a safe and friendly environment.

Registration

The conference is FREE of charge, but all delegates need to register. This will help us gauge attendance and make adequate preparations.

Cancellations: we would appreciate if those registered but no longer able to attend to please inform us by email Shaun Grech: S.Grech@mmu.ac.uk

Conference Programme

In the spirit of an eco-friendly conference, please note that we will be providing an e-pack instead of printed material on the day.

Meals

The conference is free, which means that lunch and refreshments will have to be purchased from the University or elsewhere. Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements so we can make the refactory aware of delegate requirements.

The 2nd International Scientific Tendinopathy Symposium will bring together international leaders in tendinopathy research and clinical practice. Building on successes from the 1st meeting in Umea 2010, the ISTS 2012 aims to:

• Provide a forum for the latest clinical and basic research on tendinopathy.
• Foster the development of international partnerships for research and treatment.
• Host a weekend workshop (led by Bill Vicenzino and Jill Cook) on comprehensive physical therapy treatment for upper and lower extremity tendinopathies.

Fourteenth International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

ASSETS 2012 will be held in Boulder, Colorado, USA (October 22-24, 2012)

The ASSETS conference explores the design, evaluation, and use of computing and information technologies to benefit people with disabilities and older adults. ASSETS is the premier forum for presenting innovative research on mainstream and specialized assistive technologies, accessible computing, and assistive applications of computer, network, and information technologies. This includes the use of technology by and in support of:

Individuals with hearing, sight and other sensory impairments
Individuals with motor impairments
Individuals with memory, learning and cognitive impairments
Individuals with multiple impairments
Older adults with diverse capabilities
Professionals who work with these populations

29th International Seating Symposium

March 5 – 9, 2013
(March 5 to 6 Pre-Symposium & March 7 to 9 Main Symposium)

Nashville, Tennessee

The symposium will include scientific and clinical papers, a research forum, in-depth workshops, panel sessions, and an extensive exhibit hall. Presentations should address the seating and wheeled mobility issues of people with disabilities across the lifespan such as neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injury and diseases of the spinal cord, orthopedic conditions, systemic conditions, obesity, or polytrauma.

Interactive Technologies and Games: Education, Health and Disability 2012 (ITAG)

The “Interactive Technologies and Games: Education, Health and Disability 2012″ (ITAG) conference takes place this year on 23-24 October 2012 at Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham in the United Kingdom.

The aim of the conference is to bring together academics and practitioners working with interactive technologies to explore and innovate within the areas of Education, Health and Disability. We have a particular focus on the use of gaming hardware and software to implement accessible solutions, interaction design using new input/output devices and the increasing impact of ubiquitous computing on our everyday well being.

The conference provides an excellent opportunity to showcase practice and to mainstream research ideas and outcomes. It introduces a wider audience to key findings and products from research and illustrates how practice feeds back into and informs research. The conference creates a forum for two-way communication between the academic and practitioner communities and particularly welcomes user led presentations and workshops.

The programme includes presentations of papers, workshops, and an exhibition space for demonstrations and posters. This event is held in partnership with GameCity – the World’s best-loved videogame festival (http://gamecity.org/) and delegates are welcome to attend all GameCity events including the opening drinks reception.

2nd International Symposium on Neurorehabilitation

October 18-19, 2012 Valencia, Spain

The incidence of acquired brain injuries (ABIs) and other neurological conditions represents an increasing healthcare problem worldwide.

The complexity of these pathologies makes a multidisciplinary treatment approach necessary which takes as a starting point the important advances that are being made in information and communication technologies (ICTs), virtual reality or robotics. At the same time, neurorehabilitation can also benefit from research in more experimental (biochemical, genetics, functionals, etc.) and clinical (pharmacological, early prevention, etc.) areas. We feel that the Symposium will be an excellent meeting point for professionals and researchers that wish to establish synergies among their respective disciplines which could lead to innovative approaches, and important advances, in neurorehabilitation research.

It has now been just over two years since we organized the “I International Symposium on Neurorehabilitation: From basics to future”. In that first edition, more than 400 delegates from 30 different countries joined us to make the Symposium a success. But, most importantly, the Symposium served as a meeting point for many researchers and professionals.

The Conselleria de Sanitat, the Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe (Prince Felipe Research Centre) and the Fundación Instituto Valenciano de Neurorrehabilitación (FIVAN) are collaborating to organize this second edition. Basic neuroscience, clinical neurorehabilitation and neurotechnology will come together once again in 2012 with the objective of improving healthcare models and promoting the use of technology in neurorehabilitation. All of this, for the benefit of our patients. For three days, world-renowned experts will review the current state and the latest advances made in the field of Neurorehabilitation.
