Diversity and Inclusion

Node Map

What is EDGI’s commitment to diversity and inclusion?

The EDGI project and its team members recognise that individuals from many different ethnic minority communities are underrepresented in research studies, both as research participants and as researchers. We understand that this lack of representation has roots in historic injustice and systemic racism towards these groups. EDGI is committed to prioritising this issue by engaging in discussions with different communities and taking necessary steps to improve representation in our team and our participants.
