Inkluderende ifølge loven, ekskluderende i designet? Den digitale kløfts strømninger og fremtid
Projektet undersøger, hvorfor digitale rum fortsat viderefører tilgængelighedsbarrierer fra den fysiske verden, og hvordan AI-drevne løsninger kan bidrage til – eller stå i vejen for – udviklingen af reelt inkluderende design. Målet er at kortlægge de centrale faktorer, der former digital tilgængelighed i dag, særligt i Europa, og undersøge, hvordan principperne for universelt design bedre kan anvendes til at skabe digitale rum, der rækker ud over blot at overholde lovgivningen og i stedet sikrer reel inklusion.
Forskningen vil finde sted hos European Digital Rights (EDRi) i Belgien og Inclusive Design Research Centre (IDRC) i Canada. Niklas vil desuden deltage i større internationale konferencer som CHI, DIS, ASSETS og W3C TPAC og dermed bidrage til den globale samtale om fremtidens tilgængelige digitale løsninger.

June 2026 - Singapore
Singapore is hot and humid, so I am sweaty about 5 minutes after I step outside. It's also incredibly inspiring. The DIS conference is held at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and is filled with people who work with different aspects of design of Human-Computer-Interaction. I've connected with a bunch of new people, some of whose work I was already familiar, and a lot of people working on ideas I had never heard of before.
I attended 2 sessions specifically about different aspects of accessibility that were directly transferable to the project. A lot of inspiration. But also a quite humbling experience. People are doing such good work trying to make aspects of digital life more inclusive: on-the-fly generated alt text of slides cut into live presentations, non-visual 3D printer interfaces so blind and low vision individuals can design models and 3D print them, studies on live-streamers with autism, and an endless amount of other projects.
The conference also gave me the opportunity to connect with a handful of researchers from ITU, and that was also quite amazing. It feels likepart of a transition of sorts, going from completing my masters studies (LAST WEEK!!!) to having more of a peer relationship with the researchers at ITU. The image is of the people from ITU at the conference in front of one of the universities big signs.
I'm heading home from this trip now with the conference ending, but will be going to Germany in September for another conference, which I am also looking forward to - after some rest!!!
