AccessibleEU, within the framework of the 17th International Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe (AAATE) has organised a workshop that aims to be a space for exchanging knowledge and good practices to advance the implementation of accessibility in Higher Education.

Specifically, the workshop organised jointly between AccessibleEU and AAATE will provide the different actors within the educational institutions with the required tools and knowledge to comply with the fundamental principles of Design for All (Universal Design) required by European rules. The goal is to enable educators to train future representatives of society on how to address the challenges people with disabilities may face in their professional activities.
