Equity, diversity & wellbeing

The Cambridge Stem Cell Institute is a vibrant community where an inclusive culture is promoted and diversity is valued. We support the University's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives and subscribe to the Equal Opportunities Policy.

We have an active Equity and Diversity Committee to ensure these best practices are maintained and new strategies are developed to promote an inclusive and thriving environment at the Institute.  

CSCI & Haematology Equity and Diversity Committee and Champions 

The committee meets termly to support the dissemination, development and implementation of guidelines, procedures and policies related to equality and diversity. It is made up of members at all levels across the Institute and Department of Haematology. Staff and students are encouraged to contact the committee and/or join the meetings on an ad hoc basis to raise any issues.

CSCI also has an Equity and Diversity Champion who provide visible leadership and promote good practice on gender equality: Brian Huntly.
