Together with the SeDOA project PUBLISSO organises three workshops about the topic “accessibility”. All workshops will be held in English:

  • 20 Oct. 2026, 2-3pm
    Module 1: Foundations of Accessibility in Publishing 
    A one-hour intro for everyone in the pipeline, editorial, technical, or otherwise. We'll go over what accessibility means for scholarly publishing, why it's now a legal requirement across the EU, and how to run a quick check with free tools. No background needed.
  • 27 Oct. 2026, 2-3pm 
    Module 2: Accessibility for Editorial Workflows
    A practical hour for editorial teams. We'll look at the accessibility problems that show up most often in manuscripts and PDFs, things like bad alt text, messy tables, and equations dropped in as images, and how to catch them before something goes to print.
  • 03 Nov. 2026, 2-3pm
    Module 3: Accessibility in XML-based Publishing Pipelines
    Built for developers working in JATS XML and PDF/UA pipelines. We'll cover the core concepts everyone needs, then PDF or HTML output specifics depending on time and who's in the room.
