Welcome to the EQUAL Research Network
Here you will find information about research projects funded by EPSRC through its EQUAL initiative, some background to the initiative and information about the newly instituted EQUAL Research Network.
The EQUAL Research Network is open to all those who are interested in the contribution which inter-disciplinary user focused research with an engineering, design or physical science perspective can make to improving the quality of life of older people, people with disabilities, and society in general.
At the heart of the Network are those who are actively engaged with undertaking and implementing ageing- related and disability-related research - and researchers, those who are directly involved with older people and disabled people, and intermediaries of all types.
The Research Network keenly welcomes all those with an interest in improving quality life of individuals of all ages and abilities.
As the EQUAL Research Network was initiated on 1st October 2001, these pages are under construction. We hope to have a more satisfactory system shortly.
