Combined 50 years of accessibility expertise: an expert interview

Have you ever wondered what the benefits are of web accessibility? What exactly is the European Commission’s accessibility policy? How will AI affect the future of accessibility? We interviewed our senior accessibility experts, Christophe and Régine, to learn more about these topics. They’ve been committed to making the web more accessible for everyone for many years. For example, Christophe was a participant of the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAG WG) from 2005 to 2018. Régine has been a lecturer at the Université Libre de Bruxelles for over 7 years, teaching the next generation about UX and digital accessibility. In their daily work, they audit digital products, train, and assist teams at institutions such as the Flemish Service for Employment and Vocational Training VDAB, Directorate-General for Communication of the European Commission (DG COMM) or Eurostat to increase their accessibility maturity.
