We’re delighted to announce the appointment of our new cohort of EDI Hub+ Inclusion Advocates.
This national network brings together colleagues from across the Engineering, Physical and Mathematical Sciences research and innovation community. As trusted, embedded peers, Inclusion Advocates will help champion inclusive practice, share insight from their communities, and strengthen two‑way engagement between the sector and the EDI Hub+.
The cohort reflects a deliberately balanced mix of disciplines, institutions, regions, roles and career stages, and will form a core part of the EDI Hub+’s engagement and legacy model.
We’re hugely grateful to everyone who expressed interest and look forward to working closely with the Inclusion Advocates over the coming years.
