AIDA Association is a newly established research and practice centre dedicated to leveraging modern technologies for accessibility, fostering a more inclusive and equitable world.

Our team consists of researchers, entrepreneurs, and engineers based in the UK, the US, and China, united by a global perspective. We serve as a bridge, connecting academia, industry, charities, and people with disabilities.
