Understand the current status quo with respect to inclusive software design practices in education and industry across Europe Co-create a framework for good practice in inclusive software design through Co-Design with excluded categories of users Upskill Computer Science lecturers across Europe in delivering and teaching inclusive software design Impact software design processes in the ICT sector by providing best practice guidelines Create a Community of Practice in inclusive software design

To achieve the objectives we will 1) Understand the status quo via a literature review, interview and a survey 2) Through Co-Design with excluded categories of users, we will develop a framework for good practices in inclusive software and a set of resources aimed at upskilling Computer Science lecturers across Europe in teaching inclusive software design and impact software design processes in the ICT sector 3) Disseminate findings to a wide network of stakeholders

Reports on poor practices as well as good practices that should inform inclusive software design and on the current status quo with respect to teaching inclusive software design across Europe A co-created framework for inclusive software design created by academics, insutry partners and stakeholders from excluded groups A platform of open resources and dedicated training materials for Computer Science lecturers and industry practitioners A Community of Practice in inclusive software design
