Embracing Diversity And Inclusion

Embracing Diversity and Inclusion – How Can You Help? – Do you need an expert in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to join your Science Festival? Our Founder and CEO, Dr. Shaeema Zaman, and Senior Researcher at the National Institute of Quantum Optics CNR-INO, Dr. Oxana Mishina, participated in a dynamic discussion at the Trieste Next: Festival of Scientific Research in September 2023.

Trieste Next is a renowned science festival in Italy that celebrates the intersection of science, culture, and innovation, highlighting vital themes for creating a sustainable future. This year's theme, "A New World: Science, Culture, and Innovation for a Sustainable Future," set the stage for stimulating dialogues on pressing global challenges, including diversity and inclusion.

The session addressed how individuals and organizations can actively contribute to fostering inclusive environments in scientific fields. Participants explored effective strategies for promoting diversity in STEM, including actionable steps to support underrepresented groups and create welcoming spaces for collaboration and innovation.
