- Replace broken HTML/markdown mix (**<h2><u>...</u></h2>**) with proper markdown headings (##)
- Add alt text to all university logos for accessibility
- Improve logo sizing: use Tailwind h-24 + object-contain instead of inline height
- Improve logo container spacing: items-center, gap-8, my-8
- Remove excessive <br> tags and blank lines
- Fix 'can not' → 'cannot'
- Remove trailing whitespace

Formatting improvements added

I've pushed some formatting fixes to clean up the markdown:

Fixed

  • Broken heading syntax: Replaced **<h2><u>...</u></h2>** with proper markdown headings (##)
  • Accessibility: Added alt text to all university logos
  • Logo sizing: The logos were rendering very large. Changed from inline height="100" to Tailwind classes (h-24 object-contain) which should constrain them better
  • Spacing: Improved logo container with items-center, gap-8, and my-8 for better layout
  • Cleanup: Removed excessive <br> tags, blank lines, and trailing whitespace
  • Grammar: Fixed 'can not' → 'cannot'

The CI will rebuild the docs preview so you can verify the logos render at a better size now.

it feels a bit like only made for researchers and not students in general, research feels rather niche. I'd reframe it a little

This is an intentional switch so I think it's okay!

sounds good! I gave a workshop to ESCP recently and students were mostly beginners. I thought we wanted to cover them as well @julien-c

I kinda wanted it to stay clear that Academia Hub is for researchers, students and profs as the general tone now is oriented towards research

- **Researchers:** Collaborate with peers using the standard AI ecosystem of tools.
- **Faculty members:** Enhance your classes' projects with PRO capabilities.
***For administrators***
- **Pricing**: $10/seat/month (volume-based pricing); $2/seat/month compute credits included (top-ups available)

We may also want to include an option focused more on storage and less on compute?

## How to get started

1. Ask your university's IT or Procurement Team to <a href="https://huggingface.co/contact/sales?from=academia" target="_blank">get in touch</a> to initiate the subscription process to the Academia Hub today.
Academia Hub cannot be initiated by researchers or students themselves.

Does it still make sense to capture interest from researchers/students somewhere?

I feel like they are still the main ambassadors for the program. It's pretty rare to be directly in touch with procurement or IT teams

Maybe we could be something like:

Researchers and students: <a href="https://huggingface.co/contact/sales?from=academia" target="_blank">Contact us</a> to express interest in Academia Hub and help us connect with your university's IT or Procurement Team.

IT or Procurement staff: <a href="https://huggingface.co/contact/sales?from=academia" target="_blank">Get in touch</a> directly to set up your institution's Academia Hub subscription or find out more about how your institution can benefit from Academia Hub

So both audiences can be addressed? I think it probably still makes sense to allow researchers to get in touch?

yes I feel like this is better, thanks!

Formatting of this still needs improving, but it can wait until the rest of the PR is ready :)
