Event: Providing Digital Accessibility

Exchange on digital accessibility

Together with the Apple School and ETH Zurich, Bitforge AG is organizing an event that will facilitate a dialogue between the various aspects of digital accessibility and highlight the diverse perspectives. This is an exchange between users and providers of digital solutions.

Accessibility as a requirement

Accessibility can be challenging: In app and web projects, there are usually many requirements that all need to be reconciled.

In our event, we focus on these different perspectives and needs. The wishes and demands of clients, the challenges of development and technology and the needs of users all have their place. Can all these aspects be brought together?

During a panel discussion, we will explain the options for meeting all these requirements. The subsequent aperitif will provide an opportunity for lively discussions and networking.

Obstacle-free access at ETH Zurich

ETH Zurich is committed to barrier-free access: People with disabilities or people with special needs – be they students, teachers, researchers, employees or visitors – should have largely unrestricted access to ETH buildings and services over the next few years.

Projects are currently underway in the three categories “Construction, Building Use and Architecture”, “Organization and Culture” and “Technology, Communication and Teaching” to meet this requirement.
