In general terms, digital accessibility can be seen as the ability of IT systems, within the forms and limits allowed by current technological knowledge, to deliver services and provide information that can be used without discrimination, including by people who, because of a disability, need assistive technologies or special configurations.
Ensuring web accessibility means allowing any user to access a website and utilize its services and information, regardless of their operating environment, browsing tools, or browser settings.
Every year, the University of Milan reviews and assesses the accessibility of the unimi website in complinace with the “IT Tool Accessibility Guidelines” published by AgID (Agency for Digital Italy).
The analysis follows the Self-Assessment Model (annex 2) provided by AgID, as required by Italian Law 4/2004 "Disposizioni per favorire e semplificare l'accesso degli utenti e, in particolare, delle persone con disabilità agli strumenti informatici".
The results of the self-assessment are published in the Accessibility Statement and they serve as the starting point for fixing errors and planning website enhancements.
Every year, the University sets and publishes its accessibility objectives, as required by the IT Tools Accessibility Guidelines (Chapter 4, Section 2).
The University outlines the actions it will take to improve the digital accessibility of the content it publishes and the services it provides.
