ETSI STQ Conference: Communications for All,
Supporting Diversity and Accessibility through Quality of End-to-end Network Transmission
and Devices in Human-to-human and Human-to-machine Communication
13-14 May 2025
ETSI, Sophia Antipolis France
The ETSI Technical Committee on Speech and multimedia Transmission Quality (TC STQ) is pleased to announce our conference on Communications for All.
About the event
This conference aims at bringing together communities that have not been well-connected to standards development in speech and multimedia transmission until now. ETSI TC STQ recognizes the need to bring more inclusivity to technical standards on the quality of network transmission and devices on speech and multimedia in human-to-human and human-to-machine communication, to ensure that diverse groups have input into the work of STQ.
Standardization of measurement and evaluation methods for speech and multimedia devices and networks is crucial to ensure that all users receive high quality of service and high quality of experience. Previous work in ETSI TC STQ has focused on human perception of speech and audio, as well as network-enabled services. However, with some exceptions, various aspects of accessibility still need to be addressed.
In order to bridge this gap, this conference will provide a venue for interested advocates and communities to present and discuss issues of relevance, that so far have not been at the centre of technical standards development. The Programme Committee encourages a wide range of inputs and views to help inform and guide future work on diversity and accessibility.
The event is open to all and is free of charge.
Please note that while the formal deadline to submit presentations has past, submission can be considered by responding directly to this posting.
