#ZeroCall26: Accessibility, ICT, and Crisis Response
<https://zeroproject.org/research/zero-project-call-for-nominations-2026>

Every year, the Zero Project invites changemakers from around the
world—regardless of sector, organization size, or country—to nominate
innovative solutions for the Zero Project Awards. The Zero Project Call for
Nominations 2026 (#ZeroCall26) is focused on the topics of Accessibility,
ICT, and Crisis Response.

Solutions are evaluated based on their innovation, impact, and scalability,
all with the goal of advancing the implementation of the UN Convention on
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Awardees don’t just receive
recognition—they become part of the global Zero Project Network, present at
the Zero Project Conference at the United Nations Office at Vienna, and
receive other opportunities to advance their solutions.

The U.S. Access Board will be hosting a joint webinar with the Zero Project
on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, from 1:00 – 2:00 PM (ET), to provide an overview
of the Zero Project Awards 2026. Focusing on innovations in Accessibility,
ICT, and Crisis Response, the Zero Project Call for Nominations 2026 opened
today. The information webinar will be hosted over Zoom for Government
<https://www.zoomgov.com/j/1605541090#success>and is open to all members of
the public; sign language interpreting and real time captioning will be
provided.
