Project Zero is a Convention initiated by the Essl Foundation in 2008, with the mission of supporting the implementation of the United Nations on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and working for a world without barriers. It focuses on researching and sharing innovative practices and policies around the world.
