Take part

EDICa puts co-design at the heart of its process. Our ethos is be ‘nothing about us, without us’, a common call to action from disability activists. But this means we need everyone in the research & innovation sector to engage with us. Those who are in the majority as well those in the minority. Those who are in management as well as those just starting out. Those who are active in the equality, diversity and inclusion space, and those who wouldn’t even know where to start.


Menstrual Health study

Could your department or institution pilot ways of making research & innovation workplaces to be more supportive on menstrual health issues? We co-design in a workshop what changes and interventions would be practical for a particular site. Email us for an exploratory discussion – edicaucus@hw.ac.uk
