Highlights from #UDDay 2022.
As part of Universal Design Day 2022 and the work we do in the EQUALS-EU project, we hosted the Universal Design Day Innovation Camp. We aim to find solutions to make the tech and digital field more inclusive, especially for women. #UDDay2022 was broken down into a morning session focused on the general public and non-expert audiences and an afternoon session focused on universal design professionals and technical experts.
