Research England has appointed its first equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) expert advisory group.
The expert advisory group will provide insight and perspective to support Research England in creating and sustaining the conditions for a healthy, dynamic, diverse and inclusive research and knowledge exchange system in English universities.
The initial focus of the group will be to support Research England with the development and implementation of an EDI action plan.
The formation of the EDI Expert Advisory Group aligns with Research England’s broader commitment to EDI, as set out in the recently published strategic delivery plan, and the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) EDI strategy.
