ICADS 2025 has now taken place at Cardiff University, bringing together colleagues, researchers, practitioners, and members of the wider digital and accessibility community.

This year’s event featured two excellent keynote speakers: Prof. Harold Thimbleby from Swansea University and Dr Evangelia Chrysikou from the Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction at UCL. Their talks offered valuable perspectives and helped frame important discussions around design, accessibility, digital public services, and the role of research in shaping better futures.

The event was hosted by Joanna Goodwin, Head of User Experience at the Centre for Digital Public Services, and Fernando Loizides, Director of Cardiff University’s Data Science Academy.

ICADS 2025 was held in collaboration with BCS HCI 2025, creating a strong opportunity to connect academic research, public service practice, and human-centred design. We would like to thank our speakers, attendees, and collaborators for helping make the event a success.
