- The Knut Nordby Design for All Accessibility Award
It is honoring one of our most eminent HFT Steering Committee and ETSI TC Human Factors Chairmen.
This Award has a focus on practical achievements and is given to the author(s) of the
paper reporting the most significant accessibility achievement, in a true design-for-all
approach. The impact of the work on public policies, initiatives and real product
implementations, enabling access to and improving the use of ICT products and services
for all users, including young, older, disabled, less literate and other people, will form the
decisive arguments.
This Award was founded in 2003 as an expression of appreciation for Knut Nordby’s life-long efforts and achievements in
the area.
It was handed out the first time at the 20th Symposium in 2006.At the 20th
HFT Symposium the paper "Guidelines for the development of graphical user
interfaces suitable for the Nasa Colombian indigenous community", written by
Ángela Consuelo Checa Hurtado, Santiago José Ruano Rincón, Alfer Leonardo
Cerón, César Alberto Collazos, Tulio Rojas Curieux and Abelardo
