ETNA is a European thematic network that aims to create a multilingual search engine and portal for assistive technologies and e-accessibility solutions. The portal will integrate various resources like products, services, and materials from other projects. It will connect users, providers, developers and researchers in the assistive technology community. The network builds upon an existing portal and search engine to provide a single access point for information on assistive information and communication technologies across the EU.
