Established in 2001, the National Conference of University Delegates for Disability (CNUDD) pools together the Delegates for Disability at Italian universities.
The main purpose of the CNUDD is to enable the exchange of information and experiences between different universities and to share a number of guidelines and good practices relating to the activities of Italian universities. The aim is to promote the activation of those services needed to implement Italian Law 17/99, and to respond in the most appropriate manner to the needs of students with disabilities during their university education.
In 2013, CNUDD competences were extended to include services for students with SLD.
