DOI: 10.4995/HEAd2397884139608522603-5871http://hdl.handle.net/10230/57292Work for inclusive, quality education and the reduction of inequalities is among the prioritised lines of action promoted by the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (2015). In the context of higher education, persons with sensory disabilities who study and work at universities face daily accessibility challenges when interacting with their pervasive digital environments. The ongoing UNIVAC research project aims to qualitatively analyse the measures taken by Spanish universities to overcome such challenges, as well as to explore areas of improvement in accessibility at university. This paper presents the project’s aim and scope, and proposes the adoption of the cross-disciplinary user journey approach as a form of methodological innovation in accessibility research in higher education.application/pdfengThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons License CC BY-NC-SA 4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjecthttp://dx.doi.org/10.4995/HEAd23.2023.16333UNIVAC projectAccessibilityUser-centered researchUser journeyPersons with disabilitiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
