Beyond Accommodation: Assessing Accessibility in Higher Education


In today's diverse higher education landscape, accessibility is not just about physical accommodations—it's about ensuring that every individual, regardless of their abilities, has equal access to education.

This crucial topic serves as the focus of my final Master project in data design at ELISAVA Barcelona and will be further explored in my paper for the ISEC Lisboa in the Mention in Research Program, both set to conclude in July 2024.
