The platform was developed by the following researchers within the inclusive design team at the University of Cambridge Engineering Design Centre: Sam Waller, Joy Goodman-Deane, Mike Bradley, Ian Hosking, Pat Langdon & John Clarkson
The guidance and resources contained in the platform reflect 15 years of inclusive design research, conducted by 4 successive inclusive design consortia funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
