Equity Diversity Inclusion (EDI) talk series organized by the EAS EDI WG in collaboration with the IAU Women in Astronomy WG.
The goal of this initiative is to bring together experts and community members engaged in EDI activities to share knowledge, best practices, and insights through regular talks. We aim to create a collaborative platform that fosters a more inclusive environment within our community, while providing a valuable opportunity for colleagues working on EDI issues to exchange ideas and raise the visibility of their work and institutional efforts.
