The British Science Association are looking for people in science engagement roles to join our network to share learning around Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and support widespread change across science engagement.

Key details:

• The network is for people based in science engagement organisation, have experience of running science engagement activities, and are committed to EDI
• Applications are open until 09:00 on Thursday 4 October 2019
• Members will be appointed in Autumn 2019
• There will be three half-day network meetings per year, and a monitoring framework to follow between meetings.
• The BSA will reimburse all travel and expenses associated with membership
• The BSA will provide each member funding of up to £2,000 per year for them to trial projects, cover staff time, or attend training

We will appoint up eight members, who will follow a programme designed to:

• Build confidence, expertise and leadership around EDI in science engagement
• Capture EDI learning that can be shared across science engagement contexts
• Build connections between science engagement and other sectors working on EDI
• Create advocates for change within science engagement.

This group will use an action learning and case-study approach to demonstrate change, and to put structures in place which improve their approach to EDI and make their activities more inclusive.
