Universal spacetimes are vacuum solutions to all theories of gravity with the
Lagrangian L [...]. Well known examples of universal
spacetimes are plane waves which are of the Weyl type N. Here, we discuss recent results on
necessary and sufficient conditions for all Weyl type N spacetimes in arbitrary dimension and we
conclude that a type N spacetime is universal if and only if it is an Einstein Kundt spacetime.
We also summarize the main points of the proof of this result.
