Within the TU Dresden, accessibility materials have been acquired by various organizational units over the past years, which are systematically compiled here and enable an overview of coordination and usage requests of the materials.
The inventory of these materials is regularly updated and expanded as needed. Suggestions for further acquisitions in the borrowing and support pool can be made by all members of the TU Dresden regarding the acquisition of further materials to borrow. This stock can be adjusted according to demand. Please contact the Coordinator Inclusion in the Unit Diversity Management, if you have any questions or comments about the loan pool.
We would also be pleased if you can name materials that contribute to improving accessibility and can be made available for use requests TU-wide. Please contact for this purpose.
