Dear all,
We have now submitted the proposal, you will find the submitted versions on our google drive folder<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q31r8wjwmhsVOp4aMz6B4xf4-DSv745k>. We still have a little time in case you notice any major misses, in that case please let us know immediately, otherwise we will keep our fingers crossed and hope that we will get a chance to collaborate again next year.
Thank you everyone for all your valuable contributions and nice collaboration.
Best regards,
Nasrine and Renata
Dear all,
Just a short note to say that tomorrow, at 11:30-12:30 I will give a talk titled “Bridging Sensory Gaps: Innovations for Inclusivity” at DARIAH<https://www.dariah.eu/> as part of their Friday Frontiers series, if you have time and interest, please join us by registering here: : https://dariah.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYpde-urTkvE9TT68rF0Kf_Vxsqa8YapLhl
Best regards,
Nasrine
About the talk: With an estimated 15% of the world population experiencing some form of disability, have we truly considered what ‘inclusion’ and ‘equal opportunity’ means for all? This talk confronts the reality that most spaces, technologies, and innovations are predominantly designed for individuals with their senses and functionalities intact.
How would you as a person with deafblindness interact with the world – a world filled with navigation and mobility challenges, inaccessible information, and technologies that rely on the senses of sight and hearing? In this talk, Nasrine Olson (PhD, Associate Professor) will introduce the idea behind the formation of the Centre for Inclusive Studies at University of Borås and will present a few projects that have explored ways in which technology can be leveraged to level the playing field.
Dear all,
We now have a Part B1 for your review in pdf format in the main folder. Unfortunately the portal has been down since I tried it early this morning so for now it cannot be uploaded.
I now need your help to also complete Part B2<https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oA_JWrR4V46uvSefi46CFCFEs7NUUVg/edit> , please fill in any missing information and also help cut text related to your own organisations or those of your collaborators. I had seen that Part B2 has no page limits, but had neglected to check further instructions where it is stated that we can include maximum of one page per beneficiary and half a page per AP.
We can play around a little with formatting though (e.g., having a narrow first column and a wider column where the descriptions will be). The font has to be times new roman and the minimum of 9 points (in the tables).
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Nasrine
Dear all,
A few of us (especially Astrid, thank you) have managed to get the proposal Part B1 down to 37 pages. We still need to cut 3 more pages, it would be great if you could all pitch in and cut some texts from your own parts so that nothing important goes missing.

Thanks,

Dear all,
Many thanks for your contributions.
I have already transferred much of the new suggestions to my master copy, but thanks to your nice and active participation, some of these texts get changed to new versions requiring multiple transfers. So I think it would be most effective if you continue with your changes until 17:00, and then stop, so that I can use that version for updating my master copy. I will then upload a new version for your attention tomorrow.
In your revisions until then please consider these point:
* Please cut and sharpen your own texts – the proposal is too long already and some sections are still missing. (If not necessary, do not add more texts.)
* When editing your DC projects, please be very concise (around 17 lines) without losing important stuff, and also include a short description of the problem area, the objective(s) with the project, and how the project will work in practical terms.
Thanks,
Nasrine
Dear all,
Here are some notes from today's meeting.
1. I have created an excel To-Do sheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QbpBIIj8UU3QpELmRhwKAYys24XEWag1Kyq…> that can act as an instrument to communicate the tasks that need to be addressed. You are ALL requested (whether beneficiary or associated partner) to visit this page on DAILY basis to see if any new tasks have been identified and assigned to you. [Links related to each tasks are provided in that document in column F].
1. As many of the tasks require attention by ALL, those of you who have attended to such tasks, add your names in bright pink in column D so that we know if the task is completed or still needs attention by some.
2. From now on, please mark all sections and texts that relate to you, and which you have reviewed and finalised in bright pink so that I know that as far as you are concerned those sections are ready.
3. I have marked all of the associated partners (APs) that are now registered on the portal in bright pink in this document<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wa1sjlfL3CODcrGYegtYyB60PyPFwyp7/ed…>, please double-check to make sure that your secondment hosts are included and if not let us know. The ones that are missing are marked in bright blue, please write their short name, PIC numbers and length of secondment as is in bright blue. I/we will change the colour to bright red when we have registered them on the portal.
4. The portal does not allow me to enter member details for associated partners. Please check with some associated partner to see what they can see. Regardless, whether they themselves or we need to register information for them similar to what we write about each partner. If they cannot enter the information themselves, please make sure that they copy the template prepared by Renata and fill in the form in this folder.
5. FYI, I will be attending to other tasks tomorrow, but will place the focus on this application from Thursday on.
6. Please send Renata and me the names and email addresses of your contacts at the AP organisations to be added in the mailing list. (even your colleagues who should be on the list but are not. You can find the list of current members here<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lQvtL9P_CMlJYCt-pgJ61jPYkDeGNNhDwj0…>.
If I have missed something please put a note in the TO-DO list<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QbpBIIj8UU3QpELmRhwKAYys24XEWag1Kyq…> so that those who were not present can also see.
Best regards,
Nasrine
Dear all,
I guess you would have noticed that I had sent you a wrong date for our next meeting, but I tried to correct it to next week. I hope you have all seen the correction and your calendars have been updated. So for clarity's sake, there will not be a meeting today, rather next Wednesday at 15:00.
Best regards,
Nasrine
Dear all,
