Digital accessibility means that IT applications are designed so that they can be used equally well by people with and without disabilities. Its implementation is regulated by law and means that IT applications should be designed to be perceivable, operable, understandable and robust.
In close coordination with the Digital Science Center (DiCe), the Equal Opportunity and Diversity Unit has been leading the “Quick Wins for Digital Accessibility” project since 2024. The project applies insights gained from the University of Bonn's participation in the DH.NRW project “Competence Center for Digital Accessibility” to the structures of the University of Bonn. In addition to monitoring digital barriers, short-term, resource-saving goals, known as so-called “quick wins”, were defined. These will be implemented successively during the one-year project period and will contribute to improved digital accessibility at the University of Bonn in the long term.
