Providing Reasonable Accommodation for Persons with Disabilites in the EU - Best Practises and Financing Schemes This project shall illustrate how reasonable accommodation in these fields can be realised reaching a proper balance between the interests of employees and employers. Therefore company examples will be identified and analysed where the concept of reasonable accommodation has worked on the ground. These examples shall contribute to raise the awareness among both, persons with disabilities on how they can achieve their right for appropriate accommodation on the workplace, and companies through showing that in most cases reasonable accommodation can be carried out without excessive difficulties and may lead to positive side effects for the business and its entire staff.

This EU wide project aims at: • Identifying and analysing various cases of good practice in providing reasonable accommodation at enterprise level; • Selecting cases of good practice for in-depth presentation in the form of a publication to raise the awareness of providing reasonable accommodation; • Giving an overview of available funding schemes and financial support to (partly) cover costs of such accommodation at national and European level; • Listing the organisations which are providing financial support to employers and/or grants to employees; • Drawing conclusions with regard to the improvement of such funding schemes, the mobilisation of policies to facilitate the provision of reasonable accommodation and success factors in planning and implementing reasonable accommodation.
