Book launch: New anthology on universal design

Universal Design as a Tool for Change is an anthology of articles that all discuss and engage with universal design as a means of ensuring and creating change.

We have invited two important voices from research and practice, respectively, to join representatives from the research network in a conversation about what the anthology offers, and why it is important for research and practice to share and develop knowledge together.

Last but not least, the event will provide an opportunity to network and meet the authors, the research network, and others who work with and take an interest in UD and inclusion. At the book launch, it will also be possible to purchase copies of the anthology.
