Dear All, 

As you know, the CIG takes all forms of workplace discrimination very seriously. To foster working conditions that respect Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI), PIs have recently attended a seminar led by UNIL’s EDI office. Moreover, a CIG EDI committee has been elected. 

As one of its first initiatives, the EDI committee has requested that an EDI seminar be presented to all CIG members, including PhDs, Postdocs and all PAT members, including those from central services.

The first EDI seminar will take place during a regular CIG seminar slot on Monday, October 7, 2024, at 12h15 in Genopode’s Auditoire B. 

As these topics are relevant to everyone, all CIG members are strongly encouraged to attend.

Discussion during this session and feedback from a questionnaire afterwards will be used to plan future events to ensure that all CIG members can openly discuss and receive training in EDI-related issues. 

Best regards,

Frédéric, for the CIG EDI Committee
