Research that's making the world a more inclusive place.
Our diverse community of researchers are working with local, national and international partners to develop new perspectives on the challenges society faces, with view to making a tangible difference on an individual level.
This ranges from undertaking research into social equity issues and the experience of diversity groups, to providing resources for those outside the EDI space to assess the social impact of their work.
Our research programs and efforts to increase participation of diversity groups across the research ecosystem are critical to reduce social, health and economic disparities for historically excluded groups.
