EDI Toolkit

RAi UK is committed to establish an ecosystem that celebrates its diversity of people, diversity of methods and disciplines, and diversity of thoughts and cultures. To deliver our ambition and building on TAS Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) practices, we have established a set of guiding principles that underpin our ways of working and decision making; we focus on openness, representativeness, accessibility, equality of voice, and inclusivity.

Core to our inclusive vision for the RAi UK ecosystem will be active integration of EDI principles and values in our research teams, in the research culture we promote, and in how we design research responsibly. We firmly believe that instilling EDI at the heart of what we do will enable us to draw more widely on the breadth of UK talent, enhance research quality, and broaden avenues for impact.

Our EDI Framework aims to provide clear guidance that enables our leaders and teams to build EDI into all RAi UK activities, consistently and cohesively. It focuses on four key objectives:

• Promoting a happy, healthy research culture
• Creating diverse research teams
• Building EDI into research design
• Communicating our vision to the RAi UK ecosystem.

Our Code of Conduct applies to all RAi UK activities, including:

• conferences, symposia, workshops, and events sponsored, co-sponsored, or in cooperation with RAi UK
• RAi UK member meetings
• exchanges among committees or other bodies associated with RAi UK activities publications and communications sent through communication channels associated with RAi UK, including social media.
