EACD 2024. Impact report

EACD promotes research and education for the benefit of people with a childhood-onset disability, and organises each year the largest European scientific conference in this field. For their meeting in 2024, EACD wanted in addition to pushing boundaries in research- to create a positive impact for people with a childhood-onset disability in the destination (and across Europe): to improve the quality of life of people with a childhood-onset disability. For that purpose, the Local Organizing Committee (LOC), EACD and a large group of local stakeholders … • developed the EACD+ program, which included a Sports Festival, a Concert and a Technology Experience Room to improve access to sports, culture and technology for people with a childhood-onset disability • radically changed the scientific program of the conference, placing more emphasis on end-user involvement in research projects and retranslate relevant abstracts in laymen’s terms • added a pre-symposium with academics, industrial partners, governmental and societal stakeholders to accelerate successful innovation and collaboration with an end-user perspective.
