Launch of the Higher Education Accessibility Guide

The Higher Education Accessibility Guide (HEAG) web area is a unique guide to disability support services in Higher Education Institutions across Europe.

The HEAG project began in 2009, with 26 Agency member countries in addition to Croatia and Slovakia participating. HEAG provides different types of information relevant for students with disabilities who are considering Higher Education study abroad possibilities. The intention is that this information will help students with disabilities and the professionals that support them to make decisions about possibilities for study programmes and exchange activities.

Project experts from 28 countries have collaborated to collect focused information, which can be accessed:

• via country pages, offering country specific information on Higher Education (support for students with disabilities, the national approach to higher education and disability, contact information of key people);
• via the HEAG database that allows users to search specialist services and accessibility support for students in higher education in each of the countries.

All information is available in English and the language of the respective country the information refers to.

More information will continue to be added to the database. A complete update will take place every two years.

If you would like to have more information on Higher Education in your country, please visit your country pages for the contact details of your HEAG representative. For more information on HEAG, you can also contact heag@european-agency.org.
