The EU4ALL consortium invites all of you to join the EU4ALL Special Interest Group on Higher Education Accessibility and enter the competition for the newly established award.

The ‘European Unified Approach for Lifelong Learning’ (EU4ALL) project aims to develop an open eLearning service architecture for ALL in line with the concept of ‘Accessible Lifelong Learning’ (ALL).
