Norway is hosting “Universal Design 2012 Oslo”

Call for abstracts

We are happy to announce that our website
http://www.ud2012.no/   is open for abstract submissions.

We are looking for abstracts from all relevant fields that
1.  report upon original research based on the systematic collection and analysis of data or facts related to universal design (scientific),
2.  present the practical implications and benefits from implementing universal design (technical/experience based).

All abstracts will be peer-reviewed.

The main focus of the conference is People in Public Space, which is divided into three main topics, one for each day of the conference:
-       Planning for the Diversity of Tomorrow
-       Good Practice – the interplay of regulations, research and practice
-       Added Value – the benefits of mainstreaming universal design

Addressed topics: Universal design in planning, legislation, politics, education, buildings, outdoor areas, information and communications technologies (ICT) and public transport.

Join this meeting place June 11th – 13th 2012!
