The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming research and innovation environment that benefits everyone in UK engineering and physical sciences (EPS) research and innovation. An environment where people can contribute fully due to a sense of belonging, where people are well networked, well supported and have opportunities for growth and development, producing the best results for the UK.
Our 2026 to 2029 equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) action plan is an evolution of our EDI action plan for 2022 to 2025, which was published alongside the first edition of the UKRI EDI strategy. In this action plan we include five new action sets, as well as outlining what good looks like practice and establishing clear expectations for universities, research leaders, partners and individuals.
This page brings together:
