Equity as Infrastructure: Recalibrating the foundations of scientific excellence

Scientifc excellence is typically assessed through outputs - publications, grands, citations. But excellence is produced by systems: by research culture, team dynamics, design choices and institutional incentives. This talk reframes equity not as an add-on, but as core infrastructure that shapes rigour, validity, innovation and impact. Moving beyond performative EDI requires recalibrating the foundational conditions that determine scientific performance.
