Description

Taftie Networking Workshop on Diversity

This one-day workshop will share information and exchange best practice in Diversity and Inclusion policies and actions across interested Taftie members. We will hear from some leading champions for diversity from across the world, as well as share experience on initiatives across Europe. The expected output will be the identification of one or more topic(s) to collaborate on going forward, with the overall aim to strengthen our actions or policies in diversity and inclusion and influence positive change.

Objectives for the workshop:

• To share information on policies and programmes that encourage diversity and inclusion, to highlight any flagship projects.

• To discuss how to ensure decision making processes for innovation support do not act as a barrier to diversity and inclusion.

• To share data and latest research findings in Taftie member countries on diversity in business and entrepreneurship.
