Accessibility requirements are evolving, and STM publishers (Scientific, Technical, and Medical) are working to respond within complex and fast-moving publishing environments. Legislative expectations, technical standards and operational constraints all play a role.

The STM Association organises a webinar on practical accessibility challenges identified by publishers, with the partecipation of Fondazione LIA. The session will explore common pain points and consider how these issues can be approached in day-to-day publishing workflows.
