European Accessibility Act
The European Accessibility Act is fast approaching and as we look forward to 2025, many people have questions and requirements for resources and guidelines. Many of the following resources have been put together by the European Inclusive Publishing Forum. If you have a resource to add please contact us with the details.
DAISY EAA Countdown Webinar Series
With a little over 12 months to go until the European Accessibility Act comes into force the DAISY Consortium is excited to bring you the next season of their highly regarded webinar series, entitled, “Counting Down to the EAA”.
There is much work still to be done in preparation for the new directive and, with this in mind, we want to bring our audience the very latest news, solutions and thoughts on various important topics of greatest interest to the publishing community. We publish an overview together with recordings and resources for each webinar so you will want to see the latest episodes available on our home page.
Focus on Markets: Case Studies from European Partners
The European Accessibility Act has galvanized many European countries and The DAISY Consortium has been pleased to take part in many interesting and collaborative conversations with partners, members and interested parties. Each country has their own story and their own unique set of experiences in approach to the EAA and we are attempting to capture some of these in our new series of case studies. The more we can share and learn from each other, the better prepared we hope everyone will be.
