The University of Bristol is hosting the second annual “Diversity in STEM” half-day conference on Wednesday 6 February 2019 and colleagues from across GW4 are invited to attend. This year’s theme is: “Being BME in STEM”, where the focus will be on the retention of BME students in STEM, but this event is open to everyone.
This event provides attendees with the platform to talk about ‘Being BME in STEM’ and what that means. This opportunity will not only allow everyone to converse about the recruitment and retention of BAME people in STEM subjects but also listen and hear from each other about how to improve STEM departments and workplaces for every individual.
The event also provides an opportunity to network with academics from different STEM departments, as well as various local STEM companies.
There will be a (free) food and drinks reception following the event. If you have specific dietary requirements, please contact the organiser via Eventbrite, who will make arrangements for you.
