Dedicon Netherlands is a subsidised organisation located in Grave (main office), Amsterdam, Rijswijk, Utrecht, Eindhoven and Tilburg.
Drempelvrij.nl [in Dutch]. The drempelvrij is a quality mark that indicates there are no barriers to access to the Internet.

Dutch Stichting Restless Legs (RLS)
European Accessible Information Network (EUAIN) project was established in 2004 by Dedicon when a core group of organisations involved in accessible content production came together on a European level to seek greater clarity and systematisation for this field. This was made possible through European Commission support under the 6th Framework Programme.
