Diversity in the making Diversity, gender equality and inclusion in research-communities: How universities can work towards a more inclusive culture
Societies today are facing several major challenges: climate change, economic instability, social inequality, and threats to democracy. Each challenge affects us in a multitude of ways, reflecting the diversity of our world.
Universities have an obligation to provide solutions – through our research, education and innovation. But we can only succeed in this task if we ourselves are able to use diversity as a strength. By including different perspectives – from people with different genders, sexual orientations, racial and ethnic identities, ages, beliefs, and cultural and social backgrounds – we can strengthen our impact on society.
At this conference, we learn to share insights, experiences and ambitions. It will take a sustained, concerted effort to achieve a diverse, equal and inclusive culture at the universities
