Earth Sciences for All 14 October 2025 09:30 - 18:00

Share
On 14 October, the EDI committee (Equality, Diversity & Inclusion committee of the Earth Sciences Department) is organising a full-day event titled 'Earth Sciences for All'.

Our goal is to bring earth scientists from different backgrounds and at different stages of their careers together to discuss EDI topics within Earth Sciences.

Why EDI Matters in Earth Sciences
Understanding our planet requires a diversity of voices and experiences. Equality, Diversity & Inclusion is not just about fairness; it’s about creating a safer, more innovative, and more supportive field for everyone.

Student participation
Students can participate for free, just send the organisation committee an email: edi.earth.science.beta@vu.nl.

From addressing safety in fieldwork — where risks can vary depending on gender, race, or identity — to supporting mental health in high-pressure academic environments, EDI helps identify and remove barriers that prevent talented scientists from thriving.

Let’s make Earth Sciences a field where everyone feels they belong and can contribute fully!
