Joint Programme on Accessible Web Design (web_access)

Short Description: “web_access” is a two year project (2007-2009) supported by the European Commission Lifelong Learning Programme. The overall aim is to help improve web accessibility throughout Europe by the development of a distance-learning programme in accessible web design for web professionals. It will result in a range of Europe-wide education and training courses that will be designed to be accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disabilities (PwD).
