But excellence is produced by \nsystems: by research culture\, team dynamics\, design choices and\ninsti tutional incentives. This talk reframes equity not as an add-on\,\nbut as core infrastructure that shapes rigour\, validity\, innovation\nand impact . Moving beyond performative EDI requires recalibrating the\nfoundational conditions that determine scientific performance.\n\nPlease register! DTSTAMP:20260425T223149Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
