Equality, diversity and inclusion – EPSRC
EPSRC aims to support a diverse and inclusive research environment where there is equality of opportunities. Our objective is to embed equality, diversity and inclusion in all that we do, ensuring that the activities and people we support and the research that we fund drive change in our community, and supports a system that is inclusive for everyone. We are working towards achieving an equal, diverse and inclusive environment where all individuals are able to thrive by adapting and monitoring our current processes and trialling new and innovative approaches.
