EDI Race and Ethnicity sub-group
The EDI Race and Ethnicity sub-group is being established to prepare a data and research informed action plan to support the achievement of race and ethnicity equality in the University based on the recommendations in the UCD Race and Ethnicity Equality report. The group will be responsible for identifying and implementing strategies and best practice with regards to race and ethnicity and keeping abreast of national and international developments. Through the Race and Ethnicity Equality sub-group, the University commits to working collaboratively with students, employees and the wider community to create an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds can reach their full potential.
Expressions of interest from colleagues to become members of the group are currently being sought. It is essential that this group consists of individuals who will bring different perspectives as well as lived experiences, skills and expertise to guarantee that the work of the group aligns with the objectives as set out.

Training will be provided to the members to ensure all are equipped to deliver on the work of the group. Members will be appointed through both expressions of interest and nominations.
