As the EEMCS Diversity and Inclusion Team (EDIT) our vision is to become the go-to place for all issues related to diversity and inclusion in our faculty. Our objective is that EEMCS students and employees feel that their concerns about diversity and inclusion are taken seriously and are properly addressed.
We firmly believe that diversity is the key for ensuring that a variety of approaches, insights and ideas blossom and contribute directly to innovation and creativity. However, diversity without inclusion is an empty gesture. We want that our students and staff feel at home and valued, regardless of their sex, age, background, sexual orientation or functional disability.
Contact us!
Contact us, write us an email with your ideas and suggestions! The core EDIT team meets on a monthly basis but we keep regular check of our mailbox. If you think you have a good idea to start an initiative about diversity and inclusion in our faculty maybe we can help you to set up a working group for the purpose! Don't hesitate to contact us :)
