The framework of inclusive education aims at ensuring equal learning opportunities for all students, embracing their diversity and enhancing individual talents through a context-oriented approach that can foster students’ active participation. As the number of students with disabilities and SpLDs enrolled in higher education courses has seen a significant increase over the past years (Mengoni et al., 2021), a renewed sensitivity to accessibility and inclusion within Universities has emerged across communities. Such a perspective follows the trajectories traced by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) as well as the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, both aiming at ensuring equitable and inclusive education. In response to the challenges of creating inclusive learning environments, the University of Macerata has designed and implemented the “Inclusion 3.0” Project (Del Bianco et al., 2021; Del Bianco et al., 2020; Giaconi & Del Bianco, 2018) as a comprehensive Program to enhance inclusion pathways within the University contexts. Between innovation and social value, this contribution presents the “Inclusion 3.0” Project’s framework, main objectives and strategic actions. Specifically, the Project included the implementation of co-design inclusive experiences, the promotion of self-advocacy skills, the organization of awareness-raising events and the provision of accessible learning tools for university students with disabilities and SpLDs (Giaconi et al., 2018). In this sense, the Project represents an ongoing experience to foster accessibility and inclusion within the University of Macerata, reinterpreting the place of University as a relevant and valuable life context.
