The EDIG (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Geoscience) project is a volunteer-led, online initiative, aiming to make geoscience more inclusive, accessible, and equitable for everyone.
While EDIG originated from an academic EDI committee within Ireland, it expanded outwards to include a more global volunteer-base, including those from different sectors and experiences. We are continuously working towards improving our own understanding and awareness to help bring more people into these conversations, especially those who do not feel they belong, so we can make real, significant change, together.
EDIG was formed to try and bring these conversations together in one place, but also to provide a platform where people can go to listen and learn in a safe environment, free of judgement, so we can all come together and move forward together. We all need to be part of the change to a more equitable and inclusive geoscience - we can’t make real change without input from all levels and areas. We are all learning, so let's be patient, open and respectful of each other.
We can all contribute to making geoscience more equitable and inclusive for everyone. Now is a time to listen, learn and act.
Thank you,
The EDIG team
