The university is pleased to invite you to this year’s Sphere conference on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) taking place on Thursday 23 June 2022.

The university’s Sphere Programme was established in 2019 to connect and showcase EDI activity across the university, including an annual conference.

As part of this year’s Diversity Festival, the Sphere Conference aims to bring the university community together to share best practice and research in the field of equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).

This year the event will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams and will also include an opportunity to join an in-person networking event afterwards, where a light buffet will be provided (booking required).

This online conference and networking event is open to all staff, students, and alumni and the conference will cover a broad range of EDI topics.
