- What we do as an organization (100-word description)
- K-point wants to conduct and promote research on the junction of ICT, inclusion and minority groups. K-point wants to help the Kempen region by giving them access to the knowledge that was acquired through research. using the competences of the KHK through training and service. The main starting-point is to help minority groups and people with functional disabilities use ICT more often and more efficiently The centre wants to complement the existing organisations. It supports organisations as well as policy makers.
K-point sees potential in ICT as an inclusion tool for minority groups and people with functional disabilities. Innovative applications can improve both their wellbeing and quality of life.
K-point considers ICT to be a right for everybody and wants everyone to have easier access to ICT.
K-point wants to examine the impact of ICT on society and reduce the ICT gap. Weaker groups and minority groups will be given priority.
Since K-point wants to become a leading research- and knowledge centre on ICT and inclusion, it is developing a research programme of its own with specific research lines. It wants to become a high quality knowledge centre by providing, for example, training and services.

Fijn ook een Belg te mogen begroeten in het netwerk.
Ik ben coördinator bij ATEL vzw, een organisatie in Antwerpen die zich enerzijds bezighoudt met beroepsopleidingen en anderzijds met de digitale kloof in Antwerpen. Misschien moeten we elkaar eens contacteren. Ik ben bereikbaar op 03/641.08.50 (ATEL algemeen nummer)
met vriendelijke groet,
Kirsten Dewaelheyns
