Advancing Digital Accessibility for Scientific and Technical Publications

The DAISY Consortium, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) are pleased to announce that they are partnering to support and advance the accessibility of scientific and technical publications to people with disabilities through a series of virtual public forums. Building on work initiated in 2024 by the U.S. White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), these meetings will seek to advance the goal of ensuring the digital accessibility of content.

The first meeting in this webinar series will be held on Tuesday, December 17 at 10:00–11:30 am Eastern Standard Time (US/Canada). The event is open to the public and all are welcome to participate. Organizations that would like to share their own voluntary commitments regarding this initiative during the public event are encouraged to note this on the registration page.
