Embedding EDI principles into biomedical and health research: who, what, where, when and why
As part of our Monday seminar series, we are delighted to welcome our speaker:
Dr. Imogen R. Coe
Professor of Chemistry and Biology, Former Founding Dean of the Faculty of Science at Toronto Metropolitan University, Affiliate Scientist at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto
It is well established across a range of disciplines that more diverse research teams produce more impactful and higher-quality outputs. However, how to achieve inclusive excellence in research is not always obvious or easy, at either the individual group leader level or more broadly, within an organization. In this seminar, Dr. Coe will highlight approaches to help embed EDI principles into practices that determine who is doing the research, as well as how research is being done. Various tips, tools, strategies, and ideas for creating inclusive excellence in research through the embedding of EDI principles at all levels will be provided.
