AccessibleEU, one of the signatories of the Nicosia Declaration

The Declaration also urges reform of accreditation, governance, pedagogy, and quality assurance mechanisms to make accessibility a fundamental, non-optional component of academic excellence. 

Moreover, it emphasizes co-design with direct participation of persons with disabilities in curriculum development, policy, and evaluation processes of higher education curricula across disciplines. 

The AccessibleEU Centre is proud to be one of the first original signatories along with: 

AAATE - Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe, 

European University Cyprus

Cyprus University of Technology

IAAP EU

Teach Access 

European Disability Forum

European Network on Independent Living (ENIL)

We invite organisations and individuals to read and endorse the Nicosia Declaration, as commitment to educate future professionals across sectors, on how to design and build an inclusive and accessible society.
