Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Research
On this page:
At the 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø, we are committed to advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in research and innovation. By incorporating EDI principles, we harness a broader range of ideas, expertise, and perspectives, resulting in stronger outcomes that better reflect our diverse world. EDI considerations also help researchers create projects that have a positive impact on society as a whole. We take pride in being among the first signatories of , which aims to increase EDI within post-secondary institutions and the research ecosystem.
