Session teaser

TACCU (Tampere Accessibility Unit) is a multidisciplinary unit conducting accessibility-related research and education at the Tampere Universities. Accessibility empowers every person and every organization affecting us all and enables inclusion in the digital society. Our research is largely multidisciplinary and related to accessibility in the digital society. With increasing attention in society, the field is also a source of abundant new job opportunities. Education, legislation, and policies are important to the big picture.
