Welcome to a live panel show where research meets politics and inclusion is the main focus. Digital technologies are prevalent in higher education, from lecture recordings and accessibility tools to learning platforms, apps, and, yes, AI. While technology can open doors for students with disabilities, it also creates new challenges.<\/p>\n

In this show, guests from the fields of research and politics will explore how technology can support the inclusion of students with disabilities in Swiss higher education. The discussion will address three questions:<\/p>\n

1. How inclusive are Swiss universities today? Where do students still face barriers?
\n2. Learning with technology: helpful or risky? Rethinking technological dependence through the example of students with disabilities
\n3. Studying under pressure: Can or should digital tools support students\u2019 well-being?<\/p>\n
