A Warm Welcome To Our First Cohort of 2025 Interns!
The International Centre for EdTech Impact has a strong tradition of supporting the next generation of EdTech researchers—those who not only understand impact and evidence but also bridge the gap between academia and industry. As part of this vision, we welcome at least one cohort of interns each year, providing them with the opportunity to work alongside senior researchers, collaborate directly with EdTech companies and global agencies, and gain hands-on experience in the field.
Through our partnerships with leading universities and their master’s programs in educational technology, we ensure access to top talent. This year, as in previous years, we are delighted to welcome master's students from the University of Oulu, Finland: Athina Kardiakou and Charuni Attanayake. We are also excited to have Adamantia-Lamprini Lioliou onboard, who graduated from the University of East London via Metropolitan College and the University of Gothenburg. Their expertise in EdTech will be invaluable in advancing impact in the EdTech sector.
Please join us in welcoming this first cohort of our 2025 interns and read their statements below to learn why they are excited to join us.
“I’m excited about how EdTech can make learning more engaging and accessible for everyone. I applied for this internship because I want to help create innovative solutions that support both teachers and students.”

“What really excites me about EdTech is that its implementation requires multidisciplinary thinking and synthesizing information from pedagogy and learning sciences, technology and domain knowledge which I consider a very creative and challenging process. I am personally very interested in STEAM education and blending computer science concepts with storytelling and playful hands-on learning, but also in researching EdTech’s impact in social emotional learning and emotion regulation.”
“I am excited about EdTech and its impact because it has the power to create inclusive, innovative, and personalized learning experiences for diverse learners. By integrating technology, we can break down educational barriers and ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students, including those with special needs and refugee backgrounds.”
