Workshop Choices
The workshops will be organised around the two EPSRC funded EDI Network+ projects. There will be a choice of two afternoon workshops and each will last for one hour (starting 13:45 and 15:00) and run twice with a 15 minute comfort break between 14:45 and 15:00.
We would be grateful if participants could indicate their choice on a short google form https://forms.office.com/e/SQvxUFyTAj and those who wish to attend workshop 1 could also complete some brief information on our Miro board, this will help us allocate similar interest groups. Please note that you can attend Workshop 1 in both time slots and change groups if you wish. Or you may choose to only attend one of the workshops which interests you for one hour, you are not obliged to stay for the full two hours.
Miro Board
Could those who plan to attend workshop 1 - , please complete our Miro board by adding a sticky note with your name and 1 or 2 specific interests in EDI using the Career Pipeline diagram.
Please consider the following questions on each sticky note.
- Is there a specific under-represented group you are keen to work with?
- Is there a particular part of the education/career pipeline or is it all parts?
- Is there a specific type of initiative?
For those who aren’t familiar with Miro (myself included until last week), there are some great short tutorial videos:
