As a preliminary conclusion, it can be stated that the university needs a strategy as a framework in which the implementation of inclusive teaching, learning and working conditions is sustainably specified as a cross-sectional task for all areas of university life. Key requirements are clear responsibilities and procedures, measures to raise awareness, as well as better accessibility and transparency of information.
Within such a framework, the legal requirements for digital and structural accessibility could be implemented more efficiently, leading to an evaluation and modernisation of examination regulations with regard to the implementation of compensation for disadvantages, and also bring about a change in university culture. For example, the panellists would like to see opportunities and new approaches in the area of hybrid teaching, remote working and thus alternatives to compulsory attendance.
The results of the discussions will be analysed and incorporated into further planning and strategic considerations after the end of the project, e.g. in the development of the University of Bonn's diversity strategy.
