Universal design means that users - regardless of their prerequisites - can use services offered by an organization in a good and simple way. This includes, among other things, websites, apps, infrastructure and systems. Universal design and an inclusive learning environment are important parts of higher education and required by law.
The conference follows NTNU's basic principle of Norwegian when we can, English when we have to, meaning that we also invite contributions in English. The contributions will be published in a conference proceedings after the conference.
