Handiversité Symposium 

The Handiversité symposium is a flagship initiative. Organized by the Handiversité think tank, it highlights and promotes research and innovation projects related to disability or rooted in a universal design approach. 

It is dedicated to fostering new collaborative strategies between innovation stakeholders: companies, researchers, training programs, associations, and users. The event is structured around presentations, experience sharing, and demonstrations of innovative technologies developed at Paris-Saclay.
