You are invited to join this event exploring diversity in the science and engineering community. The aim of this event is to increase awareness of barriers and challenges for a diverse research environment and provide inspiration and advice to overcome those barriers and improve diversity in the academic community.

Four academic speakers from different backgrounds will give presentations on what diversity in the science and engineering community means to them, what barriers and challenges they have come across, and how to overcome such barriers to diversity. Following the presentations, there will be a reception and opportunity for networking with the speakers and attendees.

We are delighted to have the following confirmed speakers for the event:

• Professor Shareen Doak, Director of the Centre for NanoHealth, Swansea University

• Dr Mark Richards, Department of Physics, Imperial College London

• Professor Laura McAllister, Professor of Public Policy, Cardiff University

• Professor Karen Holford, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Cardiff University
