#UDDay is an international celebration of the benefits of universal design to raise awareness and showcase the value of a universally designed world.
Universal Design Day aims to bring together those who work with, and for, universal design of ICT, both in the private and public sector, for a day of competence exchange.
Universal Design Day was founded by Inclusive Creation and The Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) in 2020.
Universal Design Day is an annual celebration. Each year we organize a hybrid event and bring together the world’s leading experts on universal design to give presentations, share values, exchange ideas, and raise awareness.
The results we achieve with #UDDay are that those who work with universal design of ICT get a forum where they can meet others who work with the same, and exchange experiences and expertise. The participants or speakers have the opportunity to find new partners and start new projects that address universal design. The ambition of #UDDay is to bring up and promote the solutions that are developed by designers and developers who do not have a close connection to academia.
Universal Design Day is a non-commercial event, so participation is free! However, if you would like to support our work, we are always looking for partners, sponsors, and collaborators.
