From 2018 to 2021 SimAv took part in the RISEWISE - Women with disabilities in Social Engagment (Horizon 2020) project through research and support activities for various initiatives aimed at identifying needs related to disability and overcoming barriers through the best practices of the various European countries involved. The aim is to contribute to interdisciplinary research activities to identify barriers to social inclusion, with respect to the theme of digital accessibility and inclusion. Digital inclusion and the right of access to information entail the creation of conditions for equal opportunities in the use of the network. No user must be discriminated against, even if they find themselves operating in a particularly difficult situation, and have the right to participate fully in the "digital" life.

The secondment periods at the project partners (universities, associations and companies) allow involved people to deal with the cultural and socio-economic environments of the involved European countries (Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey) with the aim of work for the integration and improvement of the quality of life of women with disabilities from different perspectives.

In addition to the visits of partner researchers, such as those from Universidad Complutense de Madrid - UCM, AFADIS and FUNKA, the initiatives carried out in the University that directly involved the Center, are:
