Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in Higher Education
This toolkit was developed by ;Neurotech EU - The European University of Brain and Technology and reflects the network's engagement and commitment to the topic of DEI in higher education.
The aim of this training material is to provide an opportunity to consider how aspects related to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) are related to one's role within a higher education context - whether it be as a student, educator or support staff, both within the Neurotech EU network but also far beyond it. This toolkit is designed to support the continuous development and implementation of DEI practices by providing a space for reflection and inspiring with promising practices and potential tools for further action.
