Universal design, design for all and inclusive design all aim at dismantling physical and social barriers to inclusion in all areas of life. This event brings together a diverse group of practitioners and researchers in a broad conference that focuses on collectively exploring creative and desirable solution proposals that will shape the future of universal design products and practices.
