AT2030 Frontiers Symposium: Innovating Inclusive Assistive Technology

ISPO is pleased to share details of the upcoming AT2030 Frontiers Symposium, taking place from 8–10 October 2025 in Kathmandu, Nepal. The event is hosted by the Royal Academy of Engineering, in collaboration with Kathmandu University (KU) and the GDI Hub’s AT2030 Programme, funded by UK International Development.

This year’s theme, “Inclusive Innovation in Action: Community-led Assistive Technology Solutions in Local Context,”will highlight innovative approaches to advancing assistive technology (AT) in low-resource settings.

The symposium will focus on three sub-themes:

• 🛠️ Local Innovation & Production for Sustainable AT Provisioning

• 🤝 Integration & Inclusion for Transformed AT Delivery

• 🚪 AT Solutions for Improved Access

The event will bring together early- to mid-career researchers, innovators, and practitioners from around the world to co-create solutions, exchange knowledge, and foster collaboration. In addition to networking and interdisciplinary sessions, participants will have the opportunity to apply for £20,000 seed funding to support post-event collaborative projects.

Selection is happening on a rolling basis. Interested participants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible using the following link: Apply here.
