SUMMARY:FRA's Fundamental Rights Forum.- Vienna\, Austria
DESCRIPTION:Global threats are eroding human rights progress and commitments. This is happening even though the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has existed for 70 years\, and the EU has its very own Charter of Fundamental Rights. \nThe EU and its Member States are struggling to find effective answers to the problems people face. These include: \n\nsecurity concerns\neconomic worries\nchanging global migratory patterns\nfake news\nlack of public debate\nalienation or ‘othering’\n\nPopulist movements are exploiting all of this for their own gain. As a result\, society is being fragmented. Some groups increasingly feel separated\, excluded and marginalised. \nPeople in the EU risk losing their sense of belonging – both to the societies they live in and the values which underpin the EU. That said\, the 2017 EU Citizenship report shows that Europeans expect more to be done to promote common values. \nThe Forum will be a catalyst to reignite a passion for fairness\, justice and equality. \nThe Forum is a unique space for dialogue on the pressing human rights challenges in the EU. It is an opportunity to engage in new conversations and shape critical human rights agendas. \nAmong those meeting in Vienna will be leading global and European voices from: \n\npolitics\nhuman rights\ninternational and regional intergovernmental organisations\ncivil society\nfaith communities\nthe arts\nbusiness\ntrade unions\nand many others\n\nThe Forum is organised by the European Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). \nCan I follow events at the Forum?\nRegistration for the Forum has closed. You can follow the event live by joining the debate online. \nFRA has indicated Twitter usernames in the programme. Where possible\, please use these to tag participants in posts and photos from the Forum. It’s great for their visibility and might get a retweet. \nWe have also created dedicated hashtags. Remember to include the Forum hashtag—#RightsForum18—in all your social posts\, as this will help people to be able to find us as easily and through as many channels as possible. \n\n#RebuildingTrust\n#SharedNeighbourhoods\n#RightsCulture\n#MyRightsAreYourRights\n#RightsTech\n#HumanRightsMatter

SUMMARY:Strategies for the inclusion of people with disabilities in European universities: experiences of a mobility programme- Antwerp\, Belgium
DESCRIPTION:The conference organised by the Erasmus+  project INnet Campus to promote access for students with disabilities to universities\, as well as to analyse obstacles and opportunities\, in order to increase the number of students with disabilities enrolled in European Universities. Moreover\, their objective is to involve European Universities in these strategies of inclusion\, in order to give a good example of compliance with the Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities. \nINnet Campus aims to promote the transnational mobility of young people with disabilities and improve their access to university studies\, thus reducing their early school dropout rate. It also plans to give universities the opportunity to reach potential students with disabilities and identify opportunities for improvement on their campuses. Finally\, it aims to improve and promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in the university community. \nThe programme helps students with disabilities who are currently studying stages of secondary education to continue their educational trajectory at the university level\, since they have a high risk of early school leaving and a greater probability of social exclusion in the adulthood. \nThe organizers of the Conference are the Once Foundation\, the Artesis Plantijn University College of Antwerp\, the University of Granada and the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon. \nThe European Union believes that education has a key role to play in successfully integrating students into the labor market and into society\, as well as to the social and economic development of the EU. The Europe 2020 strategy has set the target of reducing early school leavers below 10 per cent among 18- and 24-year-olds\, with at least 40 per cent of those between 30 and 34 years of age completing higher education Tertiary level and reduce by at least 20 million the number of people at risk or risk of poverty and social exclusion. \nOne of the eight priority areas of action in the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 is Education and Training. Its aim is to promote inclusive education for students with disabilities\, and to increase the number of students with disabilities who successfully enter and finish their studies. \nAgenda\n9h – 9.30h.

SUMMARY:Disabilities and work - European perspectives- Brest\, France
DESCRIPTION:The first European conference “Disabilities and work\, European perspectives” will be organised in the Finistère Region\, and held in Brest on June 21 and 22\, 2018. Behind this idea are seven associations from Finistère. All of them manage ESAT or adapted enterprises. Independent of each other\, their common goal is the integration through work of people with disabilities.  \nThe audience of the conference? Professionals\, stakeholders\, but also people with disabilities. Four themes will be declined during these 2 days: Who? Why work? Where to work? How to work? The aim is to show a wide panorama of the situations in Europe. \nThe signature of the conference\, its organising committee\nThe organising committee is composed of: Les Genêts d’Or\, Les PapillonsBlancs du Finistère\, KanarMor\, Mutualité 29-56\, APF\, ADAPT\, Sevel Services\, in collaboration with ARFIE Network (European association for research and training on integration in Europe) that brings together 57\nassociations in 16 European countries. “We want to organisethis conference to help the recognition of disability at work\, to make our associations known\, but also to share our practices on a European scale”. \nEuropean perspectives: Latin\, Scandinavian\, Balkan\, Anglo-Saxon countries…\nFor two days\, European experts will share their work and their experience with the public. Around the table will intervene professors\, sociologists\, researchers\, directors of institutions\, actors with disabilities (…) invited by the organising committee for their ability to innovate in the field of disability at work. \nAgainst the single thought\nThe organisers underline that”It will not be a symposium of scholars looking at people with disabilities. There are different looks and different handicaps. It is not right to say that not all people with disabilities can enter mainstream system. For each person\, there is a solution to be found. In a classical company\, adapted company or ESAT. And it can move on\, throughout life».

SUMMARY:The Art of Difference. A scientific\, historical and artistic exhibition about disability. Brussels\, Belgium
DESCRIPTION:The Université libre de Bruxelles\, in partnership with BOZAR and in collaboration with the ULB and VUB research centres\, is proud to present the exhibition\, The Art of Difference\, a scientific\, historical and artistic exhibition about disability.  \nThanks to new technologies\, research into sensorial\, physical and mental handicap has led to many new inventions. These innovations have undoubtedly improved the day-to-day life of people suffering handicaps and those caring for them. However\, they have also ignited many discussions around the augmented humans and transhumanism – a debate that is also addressed and challenged by artists through their work.

SUMMARY:INSAR local community conference: Autism across Adulthood: The latest scientific findings. Amsterdam\, The Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:INSAR stands for the “International Society for Autism Research”\, an organization for and by scientists who are involved in autism research. Every year INSAR organizes a scientific congress for the afore-mentioned scientists\, mostly in the United States. This year the conference is in Rotterdam.  \nThe congress lectures are of a scientific nature\, but will also be of interest to autistic people\, their families and professionals in the field. That is why every year prior to this congress an extra ‘community conference’ is organized for those who are interested in autism and want to know what the latest scientific insights are\, delivered in an accessible way by top international scientists.  \nThis year this community conference will take place in the Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam\, and will be organized by Hilde Geurts (chairman\, UvA\, Dr. Leo Kannerhuis\, INSAR)\, Kirstin Greaves-Lord (Erasmus MC Yulius) and Sander Begeer (VU). \, Els Blijd-Hoogewys (Inter-Psy)\, Dolien Buijs (NVA)\, Mariët van IJzendoorn (Dr. Leo Kannerhuis)\, Bram Sizoo (Dimence)\, Amélie Picard (zzp) & Carolien Torenvliet (UvA\, INSAR). \nWe will apply for accreditation for NIP\, NVvP\, FGzPT and V & VN. \nAccessibility\nThe community conference is geared as much as possible to autistic people themselves. This means\, for example\, that extra attention is paid to the possibility of taking some time out (quiet space)\, getting information or support (support desk) and indicating your contact preferences (a color system that allows someone to indicate “I do not the initiative to establish contact\, but appreciate contact\, so I want you to take the initiative “). \n Some photographers will be present\, but if you prefer not to be photographed\, you can also indicate this with the color system. If you notify us in advance\, assistance dogs on a leash are welcome. Our location is wheelchair friendly\, we would also appreciate it if you could notify us about this in advance (see application form). \nPractical information\nOur location is located next to the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam. Information about the route (car and public transport) to the conference location (KIT\, Amsterdam) will be announced two weeks in advance. \nProgramme \nAdditional programme\nFor healthcare professionals and other interested professionals (partly in relation to accreditation) four workshops will be offered in Dutch from 15: 30-16: 30. These will be provided by scientists and / or healthcare professionals together with experienced experts. The subjects are: Women with autism; Work and autism; Elderly people with autism; Intimate relationships and autism; You can specify the order of your preference on the registration form and we will do our best to put you first or second preference. NB: Target group for the workshops are people who work in healthcare or in another sector for / with people with autism.  \nThe reason for this is that the purpose of these workshops is to teach these professionals how they can work in an autism-friendly way with regard to the various themes\, in other words; how this professional can best meet the needs of autistic people and their loved ones. To achieve this\, the workshops are given by a professional in equal cooperation with an expert by experience\, in order to ensure that the needs of people with autism and their loved ones are central. \n In this way\, the perspectives from experiential expertise\, practice\, policy and research come together in the workshops as well as possible. This integrated knowledge came about in the Academic Workshops Autisme Reach-Aut and Samen Doen! and will be shared through these workshops. \nRegister/ log in here

SUMMARY:INSAR 2018 Annual Meeting (formerly IMFAR)- Rotterdam\, The Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:The INSAR Annual Meeting (formerly IMFAR) is an annual scientific meeting\, convened each spring\, to exchange and disseminate new scientific progress among ASD scientists and their trainees from around the world. \nThe name of the meeting was changed from IMFAR to INSAR Annual Meeting beginning with the 2018 event. \nThe aims of the meeting are: \n\nPromote exchange and dissemination of the latest scientific findings and to stimulate research progress in understanding the nature\, causes\, and treatments for ASD. Research on ASD involves sophisticated behavioral and biological approaches.  ASD affects people’s functioning in virtually every domain\, requiring interdisciplinary research collaboration to gain comprehensive knowledge of the disorder.\nFoster dialogue among ASD scientists across disciplines and across methods.\nAdvance the training and development of new ASD scientists by supporting the inclusion of postdoctoral and predoctoral trainees as well as junior faculty who are already working in ASD research.  The opportunity for trainees and junior faculty to interact with established ASD scientists will foster the creativity and productivity of those at all levels.\nCultivate diversity among ASD scientists by encouraging attendance and supporting access to the meeting for scientists and trainees from members of traditionally underrepresented groups\, including those from ethnic minority groups\, and those with disabilities.\n\nGiven the complex biological and behavioral nature of ASD\, interdisciplinary training and ongoing mentoring of new scientists and promising graduate students is necessary to recruit talented young people in ASD research. INSAR seeks to provide them with the motivation and mentoring needed to focus a career on ASD and related developmental disorders.  Having an annual interdisciplinary meeting focused on scientific progress in understanding and treating ASD provides an unparalleled opportunity for recognizing\, supporting\, and motivating talented graduate students and postdoctoral fellows into a career in ASD research. \nEvent registration will open in by March 1
