Conclusion
The general conclusion is that the European Higher Education Area is not fully accessibleThey focus mostly on physical disability and not on sensory (visual/hearing impairment) or cognitive disabilities (i.e. autism)The questionnaire is still out• ESN sections and HEIs are highly encouraged to
continue the mapping process
There is a lot of work still to be done!
