Innovating for access | Summer A: June 14–28, 2026
This program invites UF students from all disciplines to explore disability access in London and the role of technology in creating inclusive urban environments. In partnership with the UF Disability Resource Center (DRC), the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering (HWCOE), and the University of East London (UEL), students will examine how technology, policy, and advocacy intersect to improve access for people with disabilities. The program features site visits to advocacy organizations and companies pioneering smart city solutions—such as urban planning, public transit, and autonomous vehicles—and includes a collaborative hackathon hosted at UEL. Through this experience, students will gain practical insight into the challenges and opportunities of advancing accessibility in a global city like London.
London is well known for its culture and history as the capital of England and of the United Kingdom. This city has so much to discover, from fine arts in the theater to expansive green parks as well as sights like Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, and more.
This program has included visits to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Tottenham Spur Football Stadium, Victoria and Albert Museum, Charlton Park School, and Google Accessibility Centre.
Single rooms with en-suite bathrooms on UEL Docklands Campus.
