Abstract

The accessibility of higher education entities in Poland has been growing. Multiple projects concerning its architectural, digital and communicative dimensions of accessibility are being conducted at public and private universities. Nevertheless, they almost always focus on ensuring the accessibility for recipients of educational services (graduate and postgraduate students), whereas
the needs of university teachers and researchers are marginalised or ignored.

Participation in scientific events is one of the basic activities undertaken as part of scientific activity. Active participation already undertaken by students, but above all by researchers, gives the participants the unique opportunity to confront views with other people, exchange experiences and discuss ideas and therefore enables the development of science as such.

This article presents challenges concerning the participation of persons with special needs (f. e. persons with disabilities) in scientific events. The analysis of relevant legal regulations as well as the results of research on accessibility of conferences organized by Polish universities have been presented. This work also contains practical tips for organisers of scientific events, who are interested in meeting the accessibility conditions.
