Mar 07, 2025

The 3rd Plenary Meeting of the AccesS Project took place on February 25-26 in Murcia, Spain, bringing together project partners and stakeholders to discuss progress and future steps. The event garnered strong interest from the municipality and local stakeholders, who attended to engage with the project's objectives. Accessibility remained a key topic, emphasizing the importance of inclusive urban environments.

A highlight of the meeting was the visit to the Verónicas Market, one of the pilots within the AccesS Project. Project partners toured the facility, gaining first-hand insights into real-world applications. They engaged with local organizations to understand existing barriers and necessary improvements to ensure seamless mobility.

AccesS project aims to integrate advanced technological solutions to enhance the market's accessibility and sustainability. This includes developing an evaluation tool to analyze the market's design and operation, providing key data on accessibility and energy efficiency. Additionally, the use of big data and artificial intelligence will offer real-time information on the building's behavior, facilitating user mobility and ensuring a more inclusive environment.

The event attracted local media attention, with reports highlighting the significance of the discussions and the project's impact on accessibility initiatives.

The meeting was a great success, fostering fruitful collaboration between project partners, local authorities, and stakeholders. Seeing the progress made and the shared commitment to improving accessibility was truly encouraging. The AccesS Project continues to move forward with strong momentum, and we look forward to the next steps in making urban spaces more inclusive for all. ​
