Marianna Gregoriou is an Accessibility and Assistive Technology Consultant and Trainer at EduSynergy, the certified vocational education and training (VET) centre established as the combined training arm of EUROCY Innovations and PHOEBE Research and Innovation. As an HRDA-certified trainer at EQF Level 5, Marianna delivers professional development programmes that equip non-technical professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to integrate assistive technology and inclusive practices into their workplaces.

Marianna holds an MA in Inclusive Education and Technology from King's College London and a BSc in Information Systems from European University Cyprus. This combination of pedagogical expertise and technical literacy enables her to bridge the gap between advanced digital tools and the professionals who need them most. She also holds a specialist diploma in Autism: Symptoms and Intervention from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, and is a Senior Irlen Screener certified by the Irlen Institute International.

With over two decades of experience in training delivery, Marianna has designed and facilitated both HRDA-accredited and informal training programmes for diverse audiences, including SME professionals, educators, therapists, parents, and university students. Her training topics span assistive technology assessment and implementation, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), inclusive workplace practices, accessibility law compliance, EU Project accessibility compliance, and digital skills for people with disabilities. She has delivered training across Cyprus, Greece, and Oman, adapting her approach to suit different cultural and professional contexts.

Before joining EduSynergy, Marianna served as Director of SE.S Special Educational Services in Nicosia, where she managed the centre and led assistive technology training and consultancy for nearly a decade. She subsequently played a founding role in establishing the first Assistive Technology Centre in Muscat, Oman advising on everything from infrastructure and staffing to service design and professional training frameworks before serving as the centre's Assistive Technology Specialist and Irlen Screener for two years.

Marianna's training expertise is grounded in active research and project work. She initiated and authored the Erasmus+ PATH2Succeed project (2025–2027), focused on personalised study skills and accessible higher education. Her broader project portfolio includes MyHUB, TETRA-S, DEMOER, ViPi, Play2Do, and Games4Seniors. Through the CYTA-funded ABLE4ALL project, Marianna is authoring three practical guidebooks addressing EU accessibility compliance for businesses, employment pathways for people with disabilities, and professional standards for personal companions. She also delivers certified training to three distinct audiences through the project: business professionals navigating workplace accessibility, jobseekers with disabilities preparing for employment, and companions supporting people with disabilities in professional and social settings.

What distinguishes Marianna's approach is a simple principle: her aim is not just to deliver training but to create impact that lasts. For every programme she delivers, she designs practical, ready-to-use tools that professionals can embed directly into their daily workflows, from document accessibility resources to structured guidance for inclusive practice, all provided at no additional cost. Participants leave not only with new knowledge but with tangible resources they can apply immediately and independently. At EduSynergy, Marianna is dedicated to empowering individuals and professionals by advancing accessibility and inclusion across Cyprus, the EU, and beyond.
