The AVTIA project, Audiovisual Translation for Inclusion and Accessibility is coordinated by George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology of Targu Mures, project manager Associate Prof. Cristina Nicolae, PhD, Petru Maior Faculty of Sciences and Letters.
The AVTIA Project’s motivation relies on its contribution to the European desideratum 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 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.
