Introduction
Introduction
TIGERS is a group of UK-based STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine) professionals & students who are passionate about improving equality, diversity, inclusion & accessibility. We work together on campaigns with broad impact & also support one another in our activism within our own disciplines, demographics or institutions
As a group, we formed early in 2019. This website is still in its infancy, so please bear with us while we find our stripes.
