(13/11/2012) A workshop entitled 'Challenges for human centered assistive neuro-robotic devices: the experience of the MUNDUS project' will take place on 13 November 2012 in Toledo, Spain. The 'Multimodal Neuroprosthesis for Daily Upper Limb Support' (MUNDUS) project is an assistive framework for recovering direct interaction capability of severely motor impaired people based on arm reaching and hand function. Most of the solutions provided by Assistive Technology for supporting independent life of severely impaired people completely substitute the natural interaction with world, reducing their acceptance. Human dignity and self-esteem are more preserved when restoring missing functions with devices safeguarding self perception and first hand interaction while guaranteeing independent living. MUNDUS uses any residual control of the end-user, thus it is suitable for long term utilization in daily activities. Sensors, actuators and control solutions adapt to the level of severity or progression of the disease allowing the disabled person to interact voluntarily with naturality and at maximum information rate. MUNDUS targets are the neurodegenerative and genetic neuromuscular diseases and high level Spinal Cord Injury. MUNDUS is a small or medium scale focused research project (STREP) funded by the 7th Framework Program for Research.

Sub-objective "c" aims at developing bridges between ICT SME, start ups, young entrepreneurs, and law students through the setting up of "law incubators". A "law incubator" functions as a pro-bono legal clinic where law students are challenged to give legal advice (under the supervision of their Professors) to companies and start-ups having to deal with the complexity of legal issues related to information and communication technologies. The law incubators are by no means substituting the legal expertise of a dedicated legal consultancy made by professional lawyers. They rather aim at building the ecosystem for potential and emerging European tech companies by: • providing tech start-ups with legal support to start them off as viable and job-creating businesses; • providing practical training to the next generation of lawyers to address the broad and evolving needs of tech ventures. The applying consortia are ideally composed by a group of Universities in Europe plus some entities with direct access to start-ups, tech entrepreneurs, spin-offs of universities and research centres, European funded R&D projects, etc. (this list being neither exhaustive nor mandatory).

Under this project a large scale Pilot study has been conducted in four Member States of the European Union (Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Poland) to demonstrate the feasibility of a Tele-rehabilitation service using Habilis, a general-purpose software platform.
