EDI Community

The Biochemical Society has a commitment to placing equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) at the heart of all our activities, as well as creating a welcoming and inclusive space for all.

Over the last few years relationships and collaborative working agreements have been put in place between the Society and a number of different organisations working in the EDI STEM space, that demonstrates and solidifies the Society’s EDI commitments.

The aim of this community is to bring together different organisations in the EDI space to share ideas and opportunities and to create collaborative partnerships along with growing the reach of the Society and the diversity of our community.

For further information, queries, or to join the EDI Community please email the EDI team.
