The Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs (Bufdir) are delighted to be hosting the seventh conference in a series of biennial international conferences on Universal Design, UD2024. Join us in advancing the discourse on Universal Design and its pivotal role in shaping a sustainable, equitable, and resilient future for all!
Universal design, inclusive design, innovation for all, and accessibility are important concepts that aim to make products, environments, and services usable and accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities, age, or background. This makes them important strategies to achieve the UN's sustainable development goals, Agenda 2030. (See article "Universal Design - terms and terminology")
Explore the theme Universal Design and join academia, practitioners, civil servants, and experts worldwide in an engaging event aimed at renewing, developing, and inspiring the progress in the field. Through keynotes and academic paper presentations, discussions, showcases, and knowledge exchange, we will spotlight best practices, recent research, and tackle pressing issues fostering collaboration across sectors and nations.
Join us for an enriching experience with the goal to develop and inspire progress in the field of Universal Design. Your presence will be a valuable contribution to the effort aimed at creating a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient future through Universal Design.
Don't miss the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of Universal Design on an international scale!
