The Project

This second project 'Towards a Warwick STEM R&D People and Culture Hub: Empowering People's Voices' will embrace the vision of the first project and empower people's voices via a series of virtual and on-campus events, videos and case studies that will celebrate and showcase impactful research, and encourage access to, and participation in, research for underrepresented groups.

Diversity influences the nature and process of knowledge production. It is recognised, for example, that the historical absence of women in STEM research - as leaders, participants, subjects and beneficiaries - has resulted in science having more evidence for men than women, and in the 'male' being accepted as the norm in study design, and in the application and communication of research.
