School of Physical Sciences Equality & Diversity Seminar - Wednesday 16th January 2019
Sharing Best Practice: How can Industry and Academia work together to tackle inequality and discrimination?
Light buffet lunch will be served from 12:15. Talks will start at 1pm.
Location: room G16 in the Mathematical Sciences Building, University of Liverpool
Please join us at the workshop organised as part of the School of Physical Sciences Equality & Diversity Seminar Series.
In this series, we aim to discuss issues relating to equality and diversity as inclusively and broadly as possible, examining how the different barriers that people face can intersect with each other, and exploring how we can change our School culture to improve the experiences of everybody.
This workshop will be an opportunity for representatives from our University and from industry to talk about the problems they face in tacking Equality and Diversity issues, share ideas, promote good practice and find ways in which we could support each other.
Each speaker will give a short presentation of Equality and Diversity in their institution, followed by Q&A session and then a group discussion.
