Nooon – a Search Engine to surface disability data

Amidst the rise of popular AI Chatbots, Search Engine systems remain relevant for marginalized knowledge ecosystems. Nooon is a Search Engine that was designed to meet the specific needs of disability data.
In this webinar, we showcase Nooon’s bold vision for rethinking digital accessibility and information equity. Designed using experiential research by and with disabled users, Nooon envisions a framework for sustainable, user-owned search architectures. Stemming from the OpenWebIndex, it transforms the act of “searching” into an inclusive, participatory, and privacy-first experience for communities historically marginalized online.

The project was brought to life by Noor Ahsan Fathima, who has been working at CERN on Open Web Search infrastructures and will soon contribute to the International Labour Organization’s  Statistics department on disability labour data.

The Webinar will be conducted via Big Blue Button.

Seek and ye shall find. What Google wants. – Why we need transparent and free search engines

Online Webinar – provided by creative agency elfgenpick

Those who search via commercial search engines search blindly. Nobody knows what criteria are used to display something. The Open Search Foundation wants to lay the foundations for independent, free and self-determined access to information on the Internet. In cooperation with research institutions, data centers and other partners, it is committed to a web search that benefits everyone. The project, funded by the EU with 8.5 million euros, is developing an open web index as a free, public good and as the basis for a variety of online (search) services.

The online event is part of the “gemeinsinn” series of events organized by the creative agency elfgenpick. The agency has been reporting according to the principles of the Economy for the Common Good since 2019. The event is part of the sustainability weeks of the Augsburg economic region and part of the Free Web Search Days. The webinar will be provided in English language.
