Me dirijo a usted en relación a un asunto que puede ser de su interés:
Se trata de la posible colaboración de su organización en un programa
para organizaciones no lucrativas de la empresa Google, que promueve el
desarrollo de tecnologías por todo el mundo que sean capaces de resolver
problemas para la población mundial en relación a las diferencias
funcionales que les impiden estar adaptados a las tendencias culturales
dominantes.
En este sentido, hemos pensado que podríamos hacer una solicitud de
participar en dicho programa, pero como requisito me piden una
"afiliación" con la organización a la que me presento. Es por eso que le
solicito, si es de su interés el tema que le planteo, que podamos
estudiar detenidamente la situación y tomar las medidas oportunas en
relación a la convocatoria que permanecerá abierta hasta el 30 de
septiembre del presente año.
El nombre del programa es "Google Impact Challenge: Disabilities"
<https://impactchallenge-app.
Y tiene como requisitos, que las organizaciones que se presenten no sean
gubernamentales, ni universidades ademas de sin animo de lucro, si ustedes las
cumplen, podría ser elegibles, si no, probablemente estaríamos perdiendo el tiempo intentando participar.
Adjunto las preguntas que nos hacen en su formulario de inscripción, os informo de que se pretende que los resultados del trabajo sean publicos para el uso de terceros:
-What is the name of your organization?
-If you have a website that represents your organization or your work,
please include it here. If your URL doesn't fit, please use a URL

Dear Efren,
Thank you for your email.
To be eligible to apply for the open call, you have to have an
affiliation with a non-profit organization.
Other than that, it seems like the topic of your project is aligned with
our initiative.
If you are not affiliated with a non-profit, we would encourage you to
do so.
It would not only allow you to apply for the open call, but also provide
a valuable
input channel for user-driven feedback which could be detrimental to the
success of your
technology development efforts.
On behalf of Google.org, with kind regards,
Arie Meir

everyday life.

investigations so far are free accessible here:
