    16. Diversity and Inclusion
    Talk

    In October 2017, IFIC (joint center of CSIC and the University of Valencia) launched the Office of Young Researchers, Gender and Diversity (Jóvenes Investigadores, Género y Diversidad, JIGD). The main objective of this pioneering initiative is to try to eliminate the discrimination or harassment that may take place in the Institute, ensuring equal opportunities for all its members and favoring...

    16. Diversity and Inclusion
    Talk

    The CMS collaboration, one of the largest collaborations in high-energy physics, formed a Diversity Office (DO) under a mandate from its collaboration board in 2017. We present here the efforts of the CMS DO in fulfilling its mandate to improve diversity and inclusion (D&I) within the CMS Collaboration. These efforts include tracking and analyzing statistics about CMS demographics,...

    16. Diversity and Inclusion
    Talk

    Creating pathways to accelerate gender parity, and inviting more women and girls to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) continues to be a challenge in today’s world. Large international collaborations are an obvious place where diverse groups work together, embracing differences and celebrating their richness. Therefore, it’s critical that they take steps to combat...

  5. 939. LGBTQ+ Inclusivity in High Energy Physics
    Flavia De Almeida Dias (University of Copenhagen (DK))
    29/07/2020, 17:25
    16. Diversity and Inclusion
    Talk

    Embracing diversity in all its facets is key to doing good science. Building a career in physics is not just about doing your office work. It also includes cooperation with colleagues, networking, travelling to research conferences and collaboration meetings. The LGBTQ community faces concerns, extra burdens and impediments which make it difficult to explore the Universe without limits and...

    16. Diversity and Inclusion
    Talk

    During COVID-19 pandemic, the science community has turned all the efforts
    in helping: HEP laboratories have transformed into ventilators and mask
    manufacturers, computing data centers have invested their resources to
    understand the virus behind COVID-19 better, etc...

    However, on the other side of the coin, there are new daily life
    challenges faced by researchers. In this talk we will...

  8. 341. Diversity and Inclusion Activities in the Belle II Collaboration
    Hannah Wakeling (Belle II Group at McGill University)
    30/07/2020, 08:00
    16. Diversity and Inclusion
    Talk

    Belle II is an international collaboration that has over 1000 members
    from institutions in 26 countries. In 2018 Belle II created two posts
    of diversity officers, to raise awareness of diversity and inclusion
    issues, promote an inclusive atmosphere within the collaboration,
    provide a safe and confidential point to contact for collaborators to
    report any issues, particularly those related...

    16. Diversity and Inclusion
    Talk

    Early career researchers in particle physics face a unique set of challenges. Newcomers to any experiment face steep learning curves, particularly with the familiarisation of software and internal standard procedure. The junior rank typical of early career researchers can also mean less agency or influence within a larger collaboration, and job insecurity brings further additional challenges,...
