AccessCoVE promotes accessibility at EDULEARN 2025

To promote accessible and inclusive practices, AccessCoVE was presented at EDULEARN 2025, a leading conference on education, learning technologies, and educational innovation. Representing the project was Ali Mohamed, researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, who shared AccessCoVE’s goals, approach, and growing role within the European research and development landscape.

Held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, EDULEARN brought together more than 800 participants from over 80 countries, including educators, researchers, instructional designers, technologists, and policy-makers. The conference explored a wide range of topics connected to the future of education, with a strong focus on digital transformation, equity, and innovation.

Placing accessibility at the center of educational development

AccessCoVE’s presence at EDULEARN 2025 helped position accessibility as a central concern within the evolving landscape of digital education. The project was introduced in the context of ongoing conversations around:

  • Technology-enhanced and hybrid learning environments
  • Universal design in curriculum and infrastructure
  • Barriers to education related to disability, digital divide, or exclusion
  • Designing educational systems that support all learners

These topics align directly with AccessCoVE’s goals, to foster collaboration between researchers, educators, and designers who are committed to building accessible, inclusive, and just digital ecosystems across Europe.

Building community

Through presentations, networking sessions, and informal dialogue, KTH representatives of AccessCoVE engaged with a global community of professionals working at the intersection of education, design, and technology. AccessCoVE’s involvement in events like EDULEARN highlights the project’s commitment to making accessibility a shared responsibility, not only in learning content, but also in educational infrastructures, policy, and everyday teaching practice. As digital learning continues to expand, accessibility must remain at the core of development.
