The RESC Public Symposium 2023 titled “Wege zur inklusiven Gesellschaft – Gesundheit, Architektur und Technologie in Interaktion” encouraged the public discussion at the interface of health, environmental design, and technology. We were thrilled to be joined by leading experts from politics, sports, research, and industry.

Top athlete Marcel Hug presented the development of the world’s fastest racing wheelchair, Prof. Anna Puigjaner and Dr. Anna Myjak-Pycia gave insights into the history and current state of barrier-free architecture, Michel Fornasier (aka Bionicman) presented his commitment in promoting diversity and inclusion among children, and Christian Lohr brought in the political view on accessibility and the rights of persons with disabilities.

Comedian Tan Caglar showed how he turns his own daily experiences as a wheelchair user into an entertaining, humorous comedy show.
