Best practices on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and Community Engagement (CE)

Third Semiannual Workshop Best practices on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and Community Engagement (CE).

Feminist Institutionalism, inclusive Living Labs, Critical Whiteness, Gender and Physics

This event is designed for Universities interested in promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within academic settings, and will feature a series of presentations by experts and professionals in the field.

The programme will address key topics such as Feminist Institutionalism as a tool for structural change in Academia, strategies for creating inclusive Living Labs, and reflections on Critical Whiteness and practices for academic staff. Additionally, there will be a discussion on the female perspective on Physics and the contributions of women in this field at La Sapienza University, Rome. It will be a valuable opportunity for those committed to fostering a more inclusive and diverse academic culture.

This event is organized as part of the work of the Ulysseus University Alliance. Ulysseus places particular emphasis on EDI topics and has an entire work package, coordinated by the University of Genoa, Italy, dedicated to these issues.
