Access Statement

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Our proactive approach is inclusive and multi-disciplinary with a clear focus on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). We have developed a guiding principle to help the CE Hub & NICER Programme become fully representative of the circular economy community it serves.

The CE Hub knows that diverse teams deliver high quality research outcomes. Furthermore, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion approaches lead to happy and healthy research teams. The CE Hub wants to encourage, support and respect ideas from everyone and ensure our fully inclusive activities are representative of the diverse regional, national and international circular economy community.

Further work to embed EDI throughout the CE Hub and NICER Programme is ongoing and we will provide regular updates.
