CNUDD and CALD

Learn more about the CNUDD - Conferenza Nazionale Universitaria dei Delegati per la Disabilità (National University Conference of Disability Delegates) - which was set up at the beginning of 2001 as a body to represent the policies and activities of Italian universities with regard to disabled students and disability-related issues (https://www.crui.it/cnudd.html).

Since 2006, the Rector's Delegates for Disability of Lombardy Universities have started a coordination activity, which was formalised with an agreement in 2011: the CALD (Coordinamento degli Atenei Lombardi per la disabilità e i DSA) (https://www.cald.it/).
