Accessibility

In order to ensure the participation of people with disabilities and chronic illnesses in University administration, the accessibility of software and apps is a basic requirement. As early as the procurement process, it must therefore be ensured that digital accessibility is taken into account when purchasing, selecting and using software and apps.

But what are the legal requirements for accessibility at federal and state level? What public procurement law requirements exist for the binding implementation of accessibility requirements? To answer these questions, the Competence Centre for Accessible Digital University Administration.NRW invites you to the "Accessibility in IT Procurement" training course. Participants will receive information on how to organise the awarding of contracts as well as reports from procurement practice.

The training is aimed at university employees in NRW who are involved in the awarding or purchasing of software and is free of charge.

Date: 19th January 2026, 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. via Zoom.

Registrations are possible via the Zoom registration link. The event will be held in German.
