EDIS (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Science and Health) is a coalition of organisations working to improve equality, diversity and inclusion within the science and health research sector. 

Following a selection process run by Wellcome, the British Science Association has been confirmed as the future host for EDIS (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Science), working in close partnership with the Francis Crick Institute 

EDIS has grown into a vital community for people and organisations working to make science more equitable and inclusive – and we will be working with members and partners to continue that growth and build on the strong foundations already established. 

Our initial priorities are: 

  • Re-connecting and engaging with the EDIS community and membership 

  • Establishing renewed governance and an advisory group drawn from the community 

  • Consulting with members on priorities for the future of EDIS 

  • Recruiting a new dedicated EDIS team 

  • Co-creating plans for future activity, including events and opportunities to share practice 

  • Appointing an evaluation partner to help us measure and strengthen impact
