Mari Carmen Suárez-Figueroa, PhD. has been a Senior Lecturer lecturer in the Artificial Intelligence Department of the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Informáticos, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) since 2008 and a senior researcher at the Ontology Engineering Group (OEG) since 2002. In addition, she has been Academic Secretary of the Artificial Intelligence Department at UPM since 2017. She graduated in Computer Science in 2001 and got a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, with European mention, in 2010. She received an Outstanding Award granted by the UPM PhD Commission. Her research lines included ontology development methodologies, ontology evaluation, ontology reuse and ontology design patterns. In these areas, she has participated in several European and Spanish projects (SlideWiki, BuscaMedia, mIO!, NeOn, SEEMP, REIMDOC, OntoGrid, Knowledge Web, PIKON, Esperonto and OntoWeb). Currently, her research is focused (a) on applying artificial intelligence techniques to achieve so-called cognitive accessibility, and (b) on investigating different aspects of inclusive artificial intelligence. She is co-editor of the book "Ontology Engineering in a Networked World" (Springer 2012). In addition, she published her PhD thesis in IOS Press in 2012. She co-organized sessions, conferences, workshops, and tutorials at international events such as ISWC 2019, ISWC 2018, ICTERI 2018, EKAW 2016, ESWC 2014, TKE 2012, ISWC 2012, EKAW 2012, EKAW 2008, ESWC 2008, and WWW 2006.

Mariano Fernández-López, PhD, is a former Senior Lecturer and Director of the Degree in Information Systems Engineering at Universidad San Pablo CEU, where he also served as Director of the Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering Department (2004–2008). He is currently on leave from Universidad San Pablo CEU and works as a tenured civil servant at the Spanish Ministry of Education. He was previously a Lecturer at Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca (1998–2002) and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (2000–2003).
