Zero Project
The Zero Project by the Essl Foundation works towards a world without barriers in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities. To improve the situation of people with disabilities, it needs a solution-oriented approach and, thus, best practices are collected internationally. The Zero Conference, functioning as the central hub for international exchange, takes place once a year in the UNO-City in Vienna.
