Accessibility Hub

Expertise & R&D

Accessibility knowledge connected to design and engineering

Our approach combines knowledge of disability and accessibility with research, inclusive design, software development and assistive technology.

Competency framework

The expertise required to solve cross-environment accessibility problems

Disability & Accessibility

Understanding how environmental, digital, information and organisational barriers affect people with different requirements.

Built Environment & Mobility

Access to indoor and outdoor spaces, circulation, facilities, transport connections and wayfinding.

Digital Accessibility

Websites, applications, documents, media, interfaces and accessible content workflows.

Assistive Technology

Applications, aids, tactile systems, multimodal interaction, prototyping and product development.

Software, Data & AI

Accessible applications, structured knowledge, responsible AI agents and maintainable technical architecture.

Research & Validation

Evidence review, study design, co-design, user evaluation and transparent documentation of results.

Evidence of expertise

Verifiable experience across research, accessibility and technology

The people behind Accessibility Hub bring relevant academic, research, accessibility and technology-development experience. Individual profiles will present only verified information and direct links where available.

  • Academic qualifications and professional roles
  • Selected peer-reviewed publications and ORCID links
  • Relevant research and European-project experience
  • Verified technology development and prototypes
  • Training, standards knowledge and certifications where applicable
  • Partnerships and affiliations presented with permission

Clear attribution

Team experience describes work completed by the people behind Accessibility Hub in their academic, research or professional roles.

Company experience includes only work contracted or delivered by Accessibility Hub itself.

This makes it clear who did what while allowing partners to assess the capabilities available for a project.

Research themes

Questions that can generate new accessibility solutions

Accessible spatial information

How can tactile, audio, mobile and location-based information work together?

Accessibility knowledge systems

How can organisations collect, verify, update and reuse accessibility data?

Responsible AI for public access

How can an AI interface be useful, accessible, attributable and safe?

Emergency inclusion

How can preparedness and evacuation information address diverse requirements?

Accessible cultural interpretation

How can artefacts, maps and narratives become multisensory experiences?

Evaluation in real environments

Which outcomes best capture usability, independence, confidence and participation?

Collaboration model

Interdisciplinary by design

Strong accessibility work may require people with disabilities, accessibility specialists, architects, engineers, software developers, designers, sector professionals, emergency planners and researchers.

Accessibility Hub aims to coordinate the right expertise for the defined problem rather than claiming that one discipline can solve every accessibility challenge alone.
