Review for Survey in progress

  1. Introductory training on sex and gender dimension in research in February 2020
  2. Policy comparison exercise across our member institutions to establish that all institutions have similar equality policies for their students and employees.
  3. Equality, diversity and inclusion will now be a standing item on the agenda of the BiOrbic Executive Committee and Governance Board
  4. Hosting a Pride table Quiz for Pride Month.

We are moving to ensure better gender representation (at least 40%) on key Centre committees. We are also considering conducting a survey of Centre members to better understand needs in relation to equality.
