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 across partner institutions and other interested parties by providing a space for reflection and inspiring with promising practices and potential tools for action. 
 

Questions or comments?
This toolkit was developed by the NeurotechEU working group on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), part of the focus of Work Package 3: Empowering Learners and Staff.  If you have any comments or questions please contact KI Educational Developer Natalie Jellinek at natalie.jellinek@ki.se

We estimate that it will take around 6-8 hours to complete the toolkit, assuming that you complete all the exercises. However, you are welcome to dip in and out of the modules when you have time.
