AAU Innovation - Aalborg University

The Bevica Foundation and AAU Innovation at Aalborg University partner to strengthen knowledge about Universal Design in education, so that future graduates from selected programmes at Aalborg University are equiped to thinl about inclusion and equality in their future careers.

The Bevica Foundation and Aalborg University (AAU) collaborate to integrate universal design into the curriculum at AAU.

The Partnership builds on AAU's educational model Problem-Based and Project-Based Learning (PBL); through new teaching courses and practical cases, students learn to think inclusion into their solutions from the beginning — both in their studies and in their future careers.

The partnership is a pilot project involving eight degree programmes across AAU's four faculties. Educators and researchers from the programmes involved develop new methods and teaching courses to connect universal design with innovation and entrepreneurship. Students will have the opportunity to work with concrete projects and develop accessible and inclusive solutions in urban space, construction and technology.

The collaboration is part of the Bevica Foundation's strategy to promote research and education in universal design and will run as a pilot project until the end of 2027.
