This event is organised by the school's Equality Champion Network and the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Governance Group, who are committed to promoting EDI throughout our institution. We recognise the imperative need for focused time to discuss, collaborate, and innovate in the field of EDI and culture, including its impact on research culture. This conference is an embodiment of that recognition.

This conference is not just about listening, but about sharing; we encourage participants to share best practices, discuss barriers and challenges, and collaborate on possible solutions.

We believe that networking is a key component of fostering a positive EDI culture. Therefore, we extend this invitation to individuals from across the School, the Biomedical Campus, and the University, eager to share their experiences in this area. 

Together, we aim to foster a supportive environment that not only addresses the current state of EDI but also stimulates thought-provoking conversation on how we can collectively enhance the EDI culture within our institution. We look forward to your participation in this important event.
