First workshop – a summary

September 22nd marked our first proper session as a group. Thank you to all who joined us!

The intent of the workshop was to get a list of prioritized focus areas to work on. The meeting had 15 attendants participating in a shared workshop document (Word docx).

Outcome

The outcome of the document was a list of suggestions for what the group could focus on in the coming year. We grouped these suggestions under the following categories:

  • Meetups and networking
  • Providing feedback on standards and legislation
  • Co-creating/sharing knowledge and resources
  • Accessibility on universities’ curriculum
  • Research
  • Other

For the next meeting, we can open a discussion about the most prioritized individual activities that were suggested.

Chairs

Jean-Yves Moyen & Erik Gustafsson have agreed to join as Chairs, which brings us to a total of 5 Chairs in the group. If anyone else would like to join, reach out to us.

Internal communication

We agreed to set up a shared Slack space to ease communication and social interactions in the group. More to follow on this.
