The new network of researchers aims to improve equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the research and innovation sector, which is vital to UK economic growth.
The interdisciplinary network of researchers and practitioners, called the EDI Caucus, will identify, assess, and share existing evidence on the effectiveness of current EDI practices.
It will also undertake research where pre-existing evidence is lacking.
The information they gather will then be used to support UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the British Academy to test and evaluate new EDI initiatives.
This will lead to a stronger, more diverse research and innovation (R&I) sector that will benefit the UK’s economy.
