Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

Diverse teams are more innovative because differences in age, gender, education, and culture bring varied perspectives and insights. Simultaneously, unconscious stereotypes and biases can shape who has access to resources and opportunities. Diversity in research topics refers to the requirement to carefully consider if and how potentially relevant variables are reflected and considered in the research process and publications.

Use this tool to promote gender equality and diversity in research topics and collaborations.

Meet Phoenix

Phoenix is a PhD student studying the effects of biological sex on dementia. Now, Phoenix and the research team has reviewed a recent study on the limiting effects of dualistic gender approaches in dementia research. This puts Phoenix in a dilemma about the research design of the PhD.

The EDI Quiz

In all research projects it is essential to support the integration of Equality, Diversity, Inclusion as guiding principles for collaboration. In this quiz, we invite you to reflect on how this can be accomplished within your project.
