Steering Committee

The Steering Committee holds the ultimate responsibility for the TACIT project. Consisting of the Impact Officer, User Representatives, and Work Package leaders, this committee oversees all scientific endeavors and advises on the alignment of tasks across the project.

User Committee

The Users Committee consists of twenty experts from collaboration partners, ministries, and organizations closely aligned with the objectives of the accessibility cases. This group provides guidance on accessibility issues, scientific content, and outreach activities tailored to the target groups.

Translating inclusive research into digital systems

Across the Netherlands, one in four people lives with long-term visual, hearing, or cognitive impairments—barriers that too often lead to social inequality and exclusion. With the EU Accessibility Act (EAA) coming into effect in June 2025, all EU service providers will soon be required to make their products and services accessible. This landmark legislation has the potential to improve the lives of more than 135 million Europeans with disabilities. Yet many organizations remain unprepared, lacking the nuanced insights needed to design accessible, trustworthy, and socially accepted digital services.

TACIT aims to close this accessibility gap. We develop new AI and Immersive Media technologies using inclusive Human-Computer Interaction and design methodologies. Our mission is to improve the accessibility of public services, support EAA compliance, and accelerate innovation in assistive technologies.

TACIT brings together a rich, transdisciplinary consortium of intended users, researchers, knowledge organizations, and companies. Through five co-designed accessibility cases, we collaboratively explore and address the common barriers that hinder the adoption of inclusive technology.
