Description

The McDonald Institute is dedicated to cultivating an inclusive and diverse environment that prioritizes equity, diversity, inclusion, and Indigenization (EDII) within the realm of astroparticle physics research in Canada. Recognizing the significance of varied perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences, we believe that advancing our understanding of the universe is most effective through collaboration among individuals with diverse insights. Our commitment to EDII is deeply embedded in our community's mission, vision, and values, reflecting the integral role these principles represent in ensuring the success of astroparticle physics over the next several decades. As the field evolves towards longer project durations, sustaining a robust and inclusive research environment is deemed essential for maintaining scientific excellence. This presentation will focus on how the McDonald Institute is building capacity for EDII within the community and beyond, and how you can play a vital role in the future of astroparticle physics.
