B1 - Every Researcher Counts: where are we now and where are we going?
Day 1 at 16:20 - The importance of addressing equality and diversity in the research environment has never been clearer. It is essential that the sector enables all researchers to maximise their potential.
This workshop will consider where are we now and where are we going? It will highlight learning from the Every Researcher Counts regional conference programme and project to date. The project has developed two new resources – a set of scenario answers, developed with ECU and a reflection and appraisal booklet for research staff. Both of these new resources will be demonstrated. We will also be asking for collaboration in developing our strategy for the big actions institutions, PIs and research staff should be taking to address this agenda.
