In this episode, we welcome Roberta Lulli and Marta Brescia to talk about new avenues to introduce accessibility as a transversal skill in higher education programmes. This has been the aim of the ATHENA project, in which they are involved. The episode also interrogates the role of large user organisations such as the European Disability Forum in users’ rights and AVT and accessibility quality advocacy.

Roberta Lulli works at the European Disability Forum (EDF) as part of the Policy Team, coordinating projects such as ATHENA and the European DATA research on digital skills, accommodation, and technological assistance for employment. She also has experience in standardisation and training, and has led numerous diversity and inclusion initiatives and advised employers on accessible practices and compliance with the Equality Act 2010.

Marta Brescia-Zapata is a researcher and professional translator specializing in Audiovisual Translation and Media Accessibility. She holds a PhD on subtitling in VR 360º environments and is a member of the TransMedia Catalonia research group at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. She has contributed to EU projects such as TRACTION and GreenSCENT, and is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Erasmus+ Athena project on accessibility in higher education.
