EAN2025, June 10th & 11th 2025 – University of Galway 

The Ean Conference 2025 was hosted by the University of Galway Access Centre and the Office of the Dean of Students in partnership with CEUD (Centre for Excellence in Universal Design), and supported by the Office of the Vice President for Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) University of Galway

A key aim of the European Access Network (EAN) Conference 2025 was to bring together three highly related communities with shared aims which could benefit from better alignment – the access and widening participation community, the universal design community and the higher education pedagogy and practice community. A further aim wass to centre the voices of students from under-represented groups in all aspects of the conference.

The theme of the EAN Conference 2025 is Inclusion by design, with three inter-related sub-themes:

·     Universal Design in Education

·     Collaboration and partnerships in widening participation

·     Identity and belonging in higher education
