AccessibleEU European Event – Accessibility and Higher Education (24-AW-EU-01)

The "Accessibility and Higher Education" awareness-raising event aims to be a melting pot of ideas and innovation, bringing together a vibrant mix of university professors, students, administrative and service staff, researchers, and managers from inclusion service offices. Together, they will delve into discussions about best practices, confront challenges, and explore new frontiers in making European universities more accessible. 

Furthermore, this event aspires to sketch out a European roadmap for the future, advocating for a holistic approach to ensure that accessibility in higher education not only meets current standards but also anticipates the needs and aspirations of the future. This balanced perspective aims to merge practical, on-the-ground experiences with strategic, visionary thinking to create a more inclusive and accessible educational landscape across Europe.
