The additional cost of living for people with disabilities

Seminar: The additional cost of living for people with disabilities

Seminar: The additional cost of living for people with disabilities

The purpose of this study is the literature review of the extra cost of living for people with disabilities. For this purpose we will look at some definitions of disability and how each disability model defines disability. Next we will see what the additional living costs of people with disabilities are, as well as the reasons why we are studying the additional costs. Also, a brief reference will be made to the emergence and evolution of methods of measuring the additional living costs of people with disabilities. Finally, we will see some research that has been done on the additional cost.

This week, EU-CONEXUS was delighted to meet both new staff members and students at @univlarochelle 

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ For our new colleagues, we presented the wide range of opportunities offered through the alliance  from English courses and job shadowing experiences to research mobility programmes that foster collaboration across our European partner universities.

๐ŸŽ“ During the #Erasmus #Days, EU-CONEXUS joined the International Relations department to inform students about study mobilities within the Erasmus and EU-CONEXUS frameworks. Visitors discovered hundreds of destinations across Europe and beyond, and learned more about Erasmus internship grants supporting their international experiences.

๐ŸŒ EU-CONEXUS continues to connect and empower the La Rochelle Universitรฉ community through shared learning, research, and mobility opportunities,  building a truly European University of the future.

On October 2nd and 3rd, the University hosted its #OrientationDays, designed to help students settle in and prepare for their academic journey. Classes officially commenced on Monday, October 6th, and what better way to kick things off than with a #FunDay on both campuses! New students had the opportunity to explore the Universityโ€™s wide range of support services, student clubs, and mobility opportunities.

As part of these activities, Frederick University introduced EU-CONEXUS to its new students, showcasing the many opportunities available through the Alliance in the coming academic year. A special thank you goes to Styliani Poumpouridou, one of Frederick Universityโ€™s EU-CONEXUS Ambassadors, for sharing her inspiring experience and encouraging new students to take advantage of everything EU-CONEXUS has to offer. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Hereโ€™s to an exciting and successful start to the academic year!

@utcbro and EU-CONEXUS once again took part in #Eu @utcbro and EU-CONEXUS once again took part in #EuropeanResearchersNight2025, one of the most anticipated science events in Bucharest, Romania. ๐Ÿง

European Researchers' Night is part of the Marie Skล‚odowska-Curie Actions and aims to show the general public what it means to be a researcher and how exciting research work can be. The event makes science accessible to all by combining education and entertainment through exhibitions, hands-on experiments, talks, games, and competitions.

๐Ÿ’ก UTCB showcased three interactive exhibits that blended research, creativity, and practical applicability:

โžก๏ธ UTCB Model โ€“ Seismic Design Competition 2025 (Seattle)
A multi-storey balsa-wood building designed to withstand earthquakes and tested on a shaking tableโ€”evidence of the professionalism of our future engineers.

โžก๏ธ Smart House
An AI- and IoT-based smart-home system demonstrating functions such as automatic lighting, automated window closing in case of rain, and fire detection, enhancing comfort and safety.

โžก๏ธ The Mathematical Dodecagon
A geometric puzzle illustrating, in an accessible way, the connection between a 12-sided polygon and the number ฯ€.

โžก๏ธ EU-CONEXUS goodies and School Contest Think Smart, Create Brochure

UTCB representatives were delighted to discuss with the teachers and pupils about the European framework of our university, as an EU-CONEXUS member since 2019 and to give away branded goodies and our School Contest Think Smart, Create Green brochure for the 2025-2026 academic year.

๐Ÿ‘We thank our colleagues who represented UTCB for their energy, dedication, and commitment to making science accessible to the public.

To our visitors from the various institutions listed belowโ€”we look forward to seeing you at upcoming events and to discovering UTCB's projects together with students, alumni, and academic staff.

The future is built with every idea, test, and questionโ€”and we are glad we explored them together. ๐Ÿซถ
