Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in Responsible Research Innovation

Lead: Malé Luján Escalante

This was a contracted research by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), to deliver participatory EDI impact assessment, mentoring and capacity building to support early career researchers with their applications for NERC grant applications.

We oversaw a series of 6 projects over 3 rounds of applications. We used the IsITethical? Framework and the Radical Emancipatory Values to support proactive and circumspect reflection of participants that were creating and scoping project proposals. Workshops and mentorship supported participants to undertake applicable and actionable measures to propose projects that were more inclusive of researchers, participants, and ways of knowing.

Projects included were from broad and multidisciplinary perspectives and with outcomes directed to different audiences.
