Join the Accessibility Taskforce
Join the Accessibility Taskforce
We are looking for students who want to help make our buildings, services and learning environment more accessible. If you have personal experience with disability or accessibility barriers, that is a plus. But you are also very welcome to apply if you are simply interested in accessibility. We want a diverse group with many different experiences and perspectives.
Concrete recommendations
During the meetings we carry out accessibility checks: we test buildings, routes, facilities and services. As a student with personal experience or as an engaged student, you play an important role in improving physical and social accessibility at the UvA and AUAS. Your concrete advice will lead to real improvements on campus.
The Taskforce meets about 8 times a year for checks and meetings. This is about 16 hours per year. Participants receive €30 per meeting as compensation. If you are interested in doing more outside these meetings, this is possible in consultation.
Interested?
Sign up for the Taskforce Accessibility. Deadline 2th of April 2026
