Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Outreach: Room E
- Irene Bolognino (The University of Adelaide)
The communities of astrophysics, astronomers and high energy physicists have been pioneers in establishing Virtual Research and Learning Networks (VRLCs)[1] generating international productive consortiums in virtual research environments and forming the new generation of scientists. These environments are key to improve accessibility and inclusion for students and researchers in developing...
The ATLAS Collaboration provides a range of outreach and engagement opportunities appropriate for classroom engagement with particle physics developed by the ATLAS Collaboration. Here we present details of the exhibits/features and use of the new ATLAS Visitors Centre at CERN – the most visited external visitor site at CERN – as well as an overview of the highly-successful Virtual Visit...
The International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG) is a network of scientists, science educators and communication specialists working across the globe in informal science education and public engagement. Its flagship educational program, International Particle Physics Masterclasses, reaches thousands of students each year around the world, turning them into scientists for a day. The...
Communicating the science and achievements of the ATLAS Experiment is a core objective of the ATLAS Collaboration. How do we most effectively engage and educate the public through social media and web content? This contribution will explore the range of communication strategies adopted in ATLAS communications, and lessons learned. In particular, an overview of ATLAS’ digital communication...
Diversity plays a crucial role in advancing scientific research. Building a successful career in physics involves not only conducting research, but also collaborating with colleagues, attending conferences, and networking. However, members of the LGBTQ community often face additional challenges and barriers that can hinder their progress in the field.
The LGBTQ+ CERN group is a...
The Belle II Collaboration comprises over 1000 international high
energy physicists, who investigate the properties of $b$-quarks and
other particles at the luminosity frontier. In order to achieve our
aim of a successful physics program, it is essential that we
emphasise contributions from a diverse community. Belle II has thus
far focused on diversity in gender and sexuality, among...
Gender Equity in High Energy Physics in India: Status and Initiatives
The scientific community in India, as their counterparts elsewhere, is still struggling to achieve gender parity in STEM fields, particularly in physics. This is not a desirable situation since an equitable contribution from all genders can only enrich any enterprise. In contrast to the inherent objectivity in science,...
