Earlier this year, a new initiative launched as part of STEMM-CHANGE (https://www.stemm-change.co.uk/) at the University of Nottingham, one of the EPSRC’s Inclusion Matters projects. The EDI Resource Bank is an open-access database which brings together materials to support EDI work in a range of HE settings, building on good practice already taking place across the sector. Though originating from a STEMM-focused project, the EDI Resource Bank now includes more than 100 resources (such as reports and initiatives) relevant to work and study across all subjects and disciplines.
|
|
|
The EDI Resource Bank is designed so that anybody working in EDI can contribute to it: this might include guidance they’ve written for staff in their university on how to support students with protected characteristics, for example, or a report on inclusive hiring practices published by a research council that they’ve found useful. Through an intuitive, straightforward portal, users can quickly locate information which will help them in planning and developing their own work towards breaking down barriers and creating more inclusive practice. As EDI practitioners contribute to the Bank, so the Bank will come to reflect the changing questions, concerns, and priorities of the EDI community itself.

|
|
We invite you to take a look at the EDI Resource Bank today, via the link below. Please also help us build the database even further by submitting resources that you’ve developed or would recommend to others working in EDI!
