EDI CAUCUS

To achieve global excellence in research and innovation, the research workforce must bring a diversity of experiences, expertise and ideas which necessitates the creation of inclusive research cultures to remove barriers for marginalised researchers in order to meet UKRI's UK-wide talent programme and research concordats on responsible research practices. Our vision for the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Caucus (EDICa) is to create inclusive research cultures enabling diverse researchers to access and thrive in careers across the research and innovation (R&I) systems, removing barriers to full participation experienced by women, disabled, LGBTQI and racially minoritized researchers, and researchers with caring responsibilities. EDICa will act as a focal point, identifying, evaluating and synthesising EDI initiatives across the R&I systems ensuring research addresses the needs of a diverse range of stakeholders.
