These seminars has capitalised on the interest of stakeholders to exchange with and learn from their peers, while also removing language barriers by organizing the event in the local language.

SIMON – asSIsted Mobililty for Older aNd impaired users - is a demonstration oriented project, started in January 2014, with large scale pilots in Madrid, Lisbon, Parma and Reading. SIMON aims at promoting the independent living and societal participation of mobility impaired people in the context of public parking areas and multiple transport modes, through the adoption of specific navigation information and access-rights management solutions.
