Proactive D&I Work
Applied Microbiology International wants to provide a platform that supports those within our membership and beyond, by providing and sharing resources that encourage and welcome people from all backgrounds to our community.
Reactive D&I Work
Applied Microbiology International responds to requests from policymakers for evidence and information on D&I within STEM, working in tandem with our members and partners.
Our D&I Networks
Get to know who we work with to further diversity and inclusion within AMI, microbiology and the wider STEM community.
The main aims we have for the next few years are:
- Develop a more diverse and inclusive community for all AMI staff and members
- Achieve diversity across our governance and leadership structures making sure decisions are made in an inclusive way
- Engage with our members in ways that are both inclusive and accessible
We hope to collect D&I data on a voluntary basis annually in order to:
- Determine any barriers to accessing AMI’s community by noting who is and who is not represented, helping us identify blind spots and opportunities to enhance equitable access to our membership.
- Determine who is represented in our membership in order to provide specific and targeted opportunities such as events, to ensure all members feel welcomed, included and catered for.
