About the EDI STEMinar
The EDI STEMinar is a series of lectures for everyone (students and staff) on topics around Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) at the University of Liverpool.
Our goal is to provide members of the Faculty of Science and Engineering with role models, with an emphasis on showcasing diversity to inspire and empower those from underrepresented groups.
We also hope to create a safe space for students and staff which facilitates discussions around EDI issues, fostering a sense of community and ultimately leading to a better culture overall.
