I am the founder and chair of Astro DEI, a group within the Department of Astrophysics at the University of Milano-Bicocca. Our team, comprised of students and postdocs, is dedicated to fostering a more inclusive, welcoming, and friendly environment by promoting the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
A complete list of our activities and seminars, both organized and upcoming, can be found here: Astro DEI.
If you're interested in collaborating or have any ideas for DEI seminars or activities, please let us know!
