Updated : 16/05/2023

26 years | 1997-2023 | Accessibility Technical Standards

The National Institute for Rehabilitation, I.P. (INR), and the Mission Structure for the Promotion of Accessibility (EMPA) will mark the 26 Years of the Legal Regime of Accessibility in Portugal, through a webinar on the morning of May 22.

The initiative promotes reflection on experiences in the application of Technical Accessibility Standards (TAS), particularly in the context of public administration services, as well as in interventions financed under RRP funding programmes – “360o Accessibility Programme”.

With this webinar, it is intended to identify improvements in accessibility conditions, in the work in progress, and simultaneously perceive difficulties felt in the execution. The experience gained and prospects for the future are the focus of the event with the participation of Ana Sofia Antunes, Secretary of State for Inclusion.

The webinar will be broadcast on INR YouTube Channel, with room for questions from the assistance.

We're counting on you!
