UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) published its first Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) strategy in March 2023. It sets out UKRI’s ambition for a more diverse and inclusive research and innovation system. Equality, diversity and inclusion are integral to UKRI’s vision and mission. Including and valuing a broader range of people and talent will help to achieve the extraordinary potential of research and innovation to improve lives, promote economic growth, and support a knowledge economy that benefits everyone. This presentation will give an overview of the approaches UKRI is taking to create a more inclusive research and innovation system, where people, creativity, and ideas can flourish.
