Diversity and inclusion: helping more ideas thrive
Science and health research should be open to anyone with a great idea.
Culture, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Team
We want to make sure that in everything Wellcome does, the broadest possible range of people contribute to, and benefit from, science's potential to change the world.
We prioritise and involve the most minoritised groups in each area of our work, and take targeted action where needed to achieve better outcomes for all.
We do this by:
- co-developing and delivering a series of projects, programmes and initiatives
- setting key milestones against which we track and communicate progress
- ensuring equity is at the heart of Wellcome’s strategy and how Wellcome works.
All of our work from now until 2026 will serve:
- Being an inclusive employer
- Being an inclusive funder
- Establishing and leading on inclusive research design and practice.
