Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) of Lithuania joined the European Network of Inclusive Universities

Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) has become the first Lithuanian university to join an international network of universities that aims to promote the international mobility of students with disabilities and increase the ability of the university community to recognize and support the diversity of individual needs.

The European Network of Inclusive Universities (EUni4All-Network) is a project whose main aim is to bring together disability-inclusive universities on one platform. The virtual space makes it easier for students with disabilities to find and choose the university they want to go to as part of their exchange. The specially designed guide evaluates universities according to accessibility criteria and provides analysed information on the accessibility of each university for people with disabilities. VMU is the first and so far, the only Lithuanian higher education institution to join this network and to be rated with the highest accessibility mark. One of the key criteria for this rating was the VMU Disability Policy, which has been confirmed and implemented at the university, and which has opened the possibility for the university to join this network of European inclusive universities.

VMU’s joining this network is part of the University’s aim to promote better participation of people with disabilities/individual needs in international mobility programes and increase inclusiveness and diversity at the University.
