EDI Exchange

What is the EDI exchange?

Across the institution there is already an extensive amount of activity going on in the EDI space. Much of this activity is innovative, impactful and making a measurable difference to the progress of the University's EDI agenda. However, we know that we still have much to do to become fully inclusive, and in order to advance our progress we need to take collective, institutional action.

By establishing the EDI Exchange we will work with our University community to build a shared sense of purpose around our EDI ambitions. The Exchange will not replace or duplicate existing activity, but instead will allow us to bring everything under one umbrella and accelerate our efforts. The Exchange also provides an opportunity to champion and raise the visibility of EDI across the institution, as well as with key stakeholders and partners externally. The Exchange will be an important catalyst for providing a holistic culture-shift and will work to ensure that inclusivity becomes enshrined in our processes, policies and practices.

The EDI Exchange is in the early stages and more information will be available on the University website in the coming weeks.
