Working at Ascendia
What the work actually is.
01
Public-interest infrastructure, not consumer software.
The work goes into national virtual libraries, ministerial digital-skills programmes, EU consortia, and listed-company governance. EduLib alone reaches 700,000+ pupils and 100,000 teachers; the wider LIVRESQ ecosystem reaches 7,260+ institutions on the public record.
02
A listed-company environment.
Ascendia operates under BVB-listed governance obligations. Reporting cadence, audited financials, and statutory disclosure are part of the operating frame — different from a private startup operating in stealth.
03
A European public-sector frame.
Engagements with the European Commission DEC expert group, Erasmus+ Forward Looking, Horizon Europe partners, Microsoft AI for Accessibility, NVIDIA Connect, and Google AI for GovTech place the work inside a European institutional context.
04
Accessibility-by-default discipline.
Microsoft AI for Accessibility Hall of Fame recognition is operational, not historical. Engineering, design, and content production carry accessibility obligations through every project, not at the end.
Working with the team
Engineering and content production, day to day.
Day-to-day execution sits with two production teams under the leadership group: the engineering team that maintains the LIVRESQ and CoffeeLMS platform surfaces, and the content production team that authors institutional learning content for ministerial, EU-programme, and Council of Europe deliveries. Both teams operate inside the listed-company governance frame and contribute directly to the Capability Statement filed with public-sector counterparties.
