Introduction
The Euclid Consortium Diversity Committee (ECDC) aims to encourage a positive and inclusive environment within the Euclid Consortium (EC). Embracing equality, diversity and inclusion is key to success. Every single member of the EC plays a key part in this process, and we are here to promote that and assist anyone in need within the collaboration.
Our website provides some information that might be useful to all of you, but the list is non exhaustive. Please feel free to contact us for any concerns.
The whole range of activities and actions that come under ECDC are presented under the Activities page. You will also find the Code of Conduct of the EC, as well as the Meeting Code of Conduct which should be used at all Euclid-sponsored meetings.
In the context of our action to promote fairness of the hiring process, we provide information and online materials to potential recruiters in order to promote diversity and equality.
Under Resources, you will find information on Unconscious Bias, Impostor syndrome, some ground rules for respectful discussion. There is also a list of definitions for some of main issues (unfortunately) faced when it comes to diversity and equality. This information is non exhaustive and should be taken as such. We remind all EC members that the definition of any matter, such as harassment or bullying for example, is extremely personal, and while one person can accept some words and actions without taking offense, another might not.
The ECDC has a duty of support and guidance, however all committee members have to abide by confidentiality rules. EC members in need of the ECDC support should feel free to contact any members of the committee that they feel comfortable with, and can request to remain anonymous to the rest of the committee if they wish. While the ECDC aims at being as transparent as possible, all EC members have to keep in mind that none of the ECDC committee members can break confidentiality.
The ECDC is opened to all EC members. If you are interested in joining us, regular calls for applications are being sent to the entire EC. Next call for applications is scheduled for March 2024.
