Co-hosted by EDI+, IGNITE, Supergen Energy Networks, and UKERC, this interactive event brings together early-career researchers in academia and EDI advocates from across the energy sector for a day of connection, learning, and collaboration.
Moving beyond theory, the event explores how equality, diversity, and inclusion can be meaningfully embedded in energy research and institutional culture.
Highlights include:
- Conversation stations led by EDI+ and IGNITE projects on topics such as allyship, power and privilege, women in science, disability inclusion, LGBTQ+ representation, and neurodiversity in STEM.
- A panel discussion and Q&A on Building Inclusive Research Cultures, featuring diverse voices sharing lived experiences and practical insights.
- Networking, mentoring, and peer exchange sessions designed to foster collaboration and build inclusive research communities.
Whether you’re an early-career researcher, working in the energy industry or interested in learning more about an inclusive research culture. This free event offers a space to connect, reflect, and take action.
