European Action on Disability within Higher Education
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012,

15% of European population – i.e. about 80 Millions persons - live with some form of disability. Nevertheless, disabled people result an underrepresented group within higher-education all over Europe. The reasons of that are to be found in a complex range of socioeconomic, cultural and historical elements, differing for each single country. Overall, it can be stated that in Europe there's the lack of a knowledge base about disabled people's major needs within higher-education Institutions in the different EU countries, about the best practices implemented to meet those needs and about institutions/countries excelling in given best practices. As consequence, there's also a lack of an institutional Europe-wide agreed action to improve the access of disabled people to higher education and to guarantee them equal conditions of education. Obviously, all this doesn't help the access of disabled people to higher-education and their enjoyment of this fundamental right in a condition of equality. In order, this project intends to:- size the major needs of disabled people within HE institutions of different EU member countries, gather the best practices implemented to meet those needs and map institutions/countries excelling in given best practices;- carry out a piloting of gathered best practices, with the purpose to identify some fundamental services/facilities/practices within HE that may be suitable to guarantee disabled people Europe-wide.The project will first of all deliver a knowledge base issued by consortium's members participation; it will provide enduring tools to progressively enlarge and enrich that base, through the contribution of any other European HE institution; finally, it expects to set up some milestones on services/facilities/practices that should be guaranteed to disabled students all over Europe and taken into account by local and communitarian policy-makers, in order to improve their access and full and equal participation to HE.
