BBSRC Networks: Sharing Best Practice in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)

Overview

Date and Time: 10 February 2026 9:30am to 3:00pm

This meeting aims to bring together network leads and managers from across the biosciences to learn more about best practice in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). 

In 2024, BBSRC launched a funding opportunity for BBSRC funded networks. This pilot activity provided additional funds to enable these exisiting networks to enhance EDI within their communities, address under-representation and increase engagement with their members. The purpose of this virtual workshop, is for the network representatives to share the learnings and best practice they identified during the lifetime of their EDI grant. Attendees will recieve presentations from the networks with scheduled group discussion throughout the day.

This workshop will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams and attendees are asked to register in advance. The meeting invitation will be shared privately via the email address provided in the survey.
