#InspireInclusion within ADAPT: Meet ADAPT’s Gender, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee
This International Women’s Day, ADAPT would like to highlight one group in our centre in particular who work toward a more diverse and inclusive workplace. The Gender, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (GEDI) Committee is one of the teams that makes up the diverse community within ADAPT. In parallel with ADAPT’s research mission, the GEDI Committee advises the Centre on issues relating to inclusiveness, diversity and equal opportunities for all members and genders across member institutions. The GEDI Committee works with ADAPT Management to create an open, sustainable, and community-focused culture that fosters next generation research.

Chair of the GEDI Committee, Prof. Marguerite Barry, reflects on the work of this committee:
“GEDI is an amazing group of people who do a huge amount of work to make sure ADAPT includes everyone – through even small changes they have a big impact on empowering people and improving the workplace for everyone”.
