The Universitatea de Vest din Timisoara is a partner in the AVTIA Paroject. The University participation and motivation relies on its contribution to the European desire of fighting discrimination and building an inclusive society. This is achieved by identifying and providing solutions to remove communication barriers that prevent specific communities from fully enjoying their rights and freedoms. The project's focus is on audiovisual productions and access to media information for people with sensory impairments, addressing the unbalanced presence of inclusive media services across European countries while respecting EU common values such as non-discrimination and equality.
