About Us

The network is made up of organisations, educational institutions, disability professionals, academics, students and interested individuals who all share the same ultimate goal, the full inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education.

The network is currently run by a managing partnership of organisations from six EU countries, all of which share the objective of promoting full access to and participation in further and higher education for students with disabilities.

The managing partners have wealth of experience in the field of disability in Higher Education. Together they collaborate to examine best practice in inclusive teaching, learning and service provision in partner countries and aim to promote these practices across Europe. Collaboration is carried out via regular online virtual meetings using video conferencing and the staging of annual themed conferences with speakers from across Europe and beyond.

Katrien De Munck of SIHO says, "All smaller countries within a bigger Europe can unite over a subject that matters in higher education. It's good to feel recognition over shared issues and at the same time get inspired by each others work and the exchange of new ideas".

This is resulting in the promotion of a more uniform and higher standard of service provision"
