BIK is a joint project of DIAS GmbH and several German organisations of blind and visually impaired people.

The other project module, BIK@work, is managed by partners in the organisations representing blind and visually impaired people. You find more information about BIK@work activities on the web site www.bik-work.de.

Both modules of the BIK project are complementary. While BIK@work uses our test tools in their consulting work for public administrations and private corporations, it feeds back requirements identified in the application context, helping us to continuously update and fine-tune the BITV-Test and other tools.

The following members of the BIK consortium determine together the cornerstones and direction of the project:

DIAS GmbH

Deutscher Blinden- und Sehbehindertenverband e.V.

Blinden- und Sehbehindertenverein Hamburg e.V.

Blinden- und Sehbehindertenverband Niedersachsen e.V.
