Workshop #7: Embedding EDI within research

EU-CONEXUS Enables provides a series of tailored learning experiences to address key career development areas. It offers a flexible, interdisciplinary approach, with a wide range of topics designed to support researchers both in academia and beyond.

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is a core issue within the research landscape and recognised as a critical priority by the European Commission and other funding bodies. EDI must be embedded from the outset of research projects and this workshop will explore how to integrate EDI considerations across the research project life cycle. Topics include an introduction to EDI, key definitions, understanding gender roles and expectations, EDI policies and procedures, an EDI framework, and the importance of gender balance in research including unconscious bias.

Through interactive exercises, participants will consider, discuss and explore how to weave EDI and other aspects of research integrity into their projects from inception. The session will also offer insights into real-world approaches from colleagues on embedding EDI within their own work. There will be opportunities to share ideas and ask questions and you will be equipped with practical knowledge for integrating EDI into your research to strengthen your research proposals and practices.

This session will be recorded.

This activity is organized under the EU-funded project EU-CONEXUS ENABLES (Project number: 101136822), titled ‘Promoting Excellence Through Innovative Eco-systems.
