The theme of RSGF 2023, "Diversity & Inclusion - It Takes All Kinds to Make a World!" addresses many pressing issues. Historically, societies have been divided due to misunderstandings and a lack of knowledge about human experiences. Recently, there has been a growing awareness of those individuals who are marginalized because of their gender identities, especially those who don't fit neatly into traditional male or female categories. Similarly, people with disabilities have often been overlooked and not given equal opportunities or understanding due to misconceptions about their capabilities. Furthermore, cultural divides rooted in race and ethnicity have led to conflicts because of stereotypes and missed chances for enriching collaboration. Finally, as urbanization and industrialization advance, our planet's biodiversity faces threats. Alarmingly, many prioritize immediate human concerns over environmental ones.
This student conference aims to shed light on these areas, emphasizing the need for acceptance, understanding, and proactive inclusion. We should address these issues and look for understanding and solutions. We must strive for a world where diversity is to be celebrated and inclusion becomes second nature.
