Descripció:This research paper addresses the importance of inclusive education in the context of the National University of Rosario and its commitment to people with disabilities. Following international recommendations and public policies, a project focused on the design of sustainable inclusive equipment was carried out, seeking to generate theoretical and methodological guidelines to guarantee the access and retention of students with disabilities in higher education. The study focuses on inclusive design, which promotes the creation of products that are accessible to all. The methodology adopted is Action Research within a situated socio-technical-cultural framework, with the active participation of people with disabilities in the design process, as well as collaborative work between teachers and researchers. The analysis is based on a multidimensional model that considers political, technological, social, and intermedial dimensions fundamental to the development of inclusive projects. The results highlight the importance of inclusive education and universal design through a participatory and multidimensional approach. They developed innovative solutions for specific facilities that contribute to improving the quality of life of students with disabilities and fostering a culture of inclusion within the university community.
