This workshop will support researchers (whether with small research groups or large research teams) as they develop core competencies in the creation of inclusive cultures in research environments using data-driven, evidence informed approaches. Through interactive sessions, participants will learn about systemic barriers in research and how they limit innovation, creativity and diverse approaches to complex problems. In addition, participants will learn about tools and strategies for identifying and removing barriers to inclusion, creating cultures of care that attract, retain and promote diverse talent and enhancing impact and rigour in all their research activities.
