What we are therefore offering in this paper is (1) an overview of the benefits that a strategic approach to EDI can bring to universities (2) an introduction to the most recent and relevant research evidence on EDI issues in academia (3) an invitation for university leaders to fully equip themselves to recognise and address the particular challenges of EDI at research-intensive institutions (4) an overview of inspiring and practical examples of actions that can be taken.
Are you looking for data on gender or racial disparities in funding, best practices to host more inclusive meetings, testimonials and insights from diverse scientists, or examples of institutional actions to support mental health and well-being? Find all this and more on the searchable ALBA database of over 1000 resources, curated and categorised by topic, type and group identity.
With this database, we hope to foster an environment of awareness and learning, support individuals and organisations in their DEI efforts, and promote best practices and tools to achieve equity and inclusion.
