Include 2005 was sponsored by Scope, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Design Science, the Faraday Packaging Partnership and InnovationRCA.
The conference partners were IAUD, i-design and the Cambridge Engineering Design Centre.
Scope is the disability organisation in England and Wales whose focus is people with cerebral palsy. Scope's aim is that disabled people achieve equality: a society in which they are as valued and have the same human and civil rights as everyone else.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is the UK's leading funding agency for research and training in engineering and the physical sciences. It invests in research that leads to improvements in everyone's health, personal well-being and lifestyle.
Design Science is a consultancy based in Philadelphia, USA, which specialises in user research, human factors and interface design for product development. It's aim is 'Fitting Products to People'.
The Faraday Packaging Partnership, established in 1997, is a powerful intelligence and R&D network, managed by the University of Leeds on behalf of the White Rose Universities. It generates new thinking for the design, manufacture and supply of packaging for fast moving consumer goods.
InnovationRCA is a new network set up by the Royal College of Art to link RCA graduates with business in order to create innovation opportunities.
IAUD (the international Association for Universal Design) is an organization which inherits the spirit and the results of the "International Conference for Universal Design in Japan 2002". It promotes the establishment of the foundations of a society in which more people will feel comfortable to live.
The i-design programme set out to provide industrial decision makers, and those involved in commissioning and managing design, with mechanisms to understand the significance of age and capability related factors.
The Cambridge Engineering Design Centre undertakes research to create knowledge, understanding, methods and tools that will contribute to improving the design process.
