Science for all: equality and diversity resources
As a leading voice in the STEM community, the Science Council strives to seek every opportunity to be proactive in promoting and communicating equality, diversity and inclusion across science.
To aid organisations and our peers in doing so, we have collated a number of resources which may be helpful in achieving this vision:
