Abstract

Abstract. In the European Year of People with Disabilities 2003 the major German social organisation “Aktion Mensch” (German Association for the Care of the Disabled) and the “Stiftung Digitale Chancen” (Digital Opportunities Foundation) have for the first time jointly initiated a competition for the design of barrier-free websites.
