Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at UNSW Science

UNSW Science aims to provide an equitable place of work and study that will stimulate innovation, productivity and progress. We believe diversity and inclusion are essential to producing robust, credible, and pioneering science of global impact, and to train the next generation of scientists for success. Our actions are led by data and focused on advancing meaningful structural and sustainable changes for people with diverse lived experiences, backgrounds and identities while recognising the importance of raising awareness and celebrating diversity.
