Our Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee aims to create and maintain a departmental culture that encourages and promotes equality, diversity and inclusion.
The committee aims to advance good practice across the department. It will oversee the implementation of the current and future departmental Equity & Diversity action plans. In 2020 this included successfully applying for JUNO Practitioner status.
Additionally, the committee aims to act as a beacon of good practice for ED&I principles by sharing information and participating in discussion with other UCL and UK STEM departments.
Support for ED&I Activities
The Department has an annual budget available for the support of ED&I activities. This includes, for example, covering travelling costs for a guest speaker to give a seminar. If you wish to apply for funds please email your request to Hamish Reid and Paola Pinilla, outlining the request, how this fits with the Department’s ED&I strategy and the proposed costs. Applications can be made at any time in the year.
