Equity, diversity and inclusivity

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusivity (EDI) is central to the ERA Skills ethos of creating and sustaining a talent pipeline to secure the UK’s position as a leader in energy research and innovation.

The ERA Skills EDI working group aims to ensure we are actively engaging with a diverse set of doctoral researchers, and to help us understand potential barriers to participation and/or development for people with protected characteristic.

In order that financial considerations are not a barrier to participation in this discussion we will provide financial remuneration for the doctoral researcher members of this group.
