Universal Design
universal design involves the design and development of products and environments that can be used by
all people – as far as possible – without requiring any adaptation or specialized customizations. There are many differences between the worlds of the young and old, the healthy and the ill, of people with and without disabilities. One topic in the field of design, however, forms the basis of what they all have in common: well-
designed products, properly planned architecture and services designed to meet specific needs.

Memories-XL
According to a story happened long time ago,
the treatment of the inhabitants of a retirement house improved significantly, when pictures of the old people in younger times were displayed. Psychologists say that this is related to the effects of priming. Memories-XL makes use of this principle. Major milestones, lifehacks, photos of former times and visuals of competencies are displayed promoinently on the people’s room doors, leading to: 1) a better behavior of the employees, 2) a closer relationship with the family; 3) more things to share and discuss with the colleagues; 4) a means against the development of dementia and 5) a starting point to rediscover the knowledge and competencies of the old people.
Memories-XL supports the work on the biography of dementia-people giving the respect, dignity and appreciation.
Awarded as Newcomer Innovation / Altenpflege Germany 2016.

what: generation research project
lead partner: Sigmund Freud University SFU!
when: March - November 2016
where: Lviv, Olomouc, Magdeburg, Milano & Vienna
The innovative goal of this project is to support Europe’s young talents in the field of social and cultural sciences! The team members will be recruited from 4 different European countries, where 4 renowned universities advocate the project: Sigmund Freud University Vienna (Austria), Ukrainian Catholic University Lviv (Ukraine), Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg (Germany) and Palacky-University Olomouc (Czech Republic). The future of Europe depends on the next generation. But hardly anyone listens to them—even less so at the Eastern periphery of the continent. We therefore want to support junior researchers in 4 European countries to jointly investigate what is relevant and innovative for their own generation.

Try to think at the collapse of the obstruction between journalists and printers in an editorial staff, or again, think to the prospect for graphic or professional studios to present their project through a watchful and captivating data collection. The use of infographics and visual journalism makes information more dynamic and it also rewards innovation, offering a qualified job opportunity. To prevent that the training lots of people do shows as a pinched opportunity, it is important to complement it with always more common manners. At the same time, it is important that people who use new codes and techniques, know well the subject they will approach to, this to avoid accidentally mistakes or blunders. The Laboratorio aspires to deal with the touched on topics, both the theoretical part, hiring the best “teachers”, both the applied part, availing great structured workshops.

Successful communication is critical in this ‘information age’. IC Clear will develop, pilot and implement a postgraduate course in clear communication to respond to the increase in demand for clear, easy-to-understand information and the lack of well-trained clear communication professionals.
Depending on the outcomes of a survey to industry professionals, the course will consist of an innovative mix of
• plain language
• information design
• usability techniques.
