Diversity day at Astron
| Submitter: | Tammo Jan Dijkema on behalf of the Diversity Committee |
| Description: | The 1st of October is National Diversity Day. To celebrate this event, the Diversity Committee at Astron organized a coffee and cookies session. Our DG Carole Jackson spoke a few words on behalf of the Management Team to emphasize that achieving and embracing more diversity in the organization is on their radar. Betsey Adams, current chair of the Diversity Committee, then presented the committee and explained the role of the diversity committee in the organization. Koos Kegel presented the national, astronomy wide, equity and inclusion initiative by the NOVA institutes, ASTRON and SRON. As well Koos drew attention to the recurring NWO pride network meetings. The informal meeting ended with some interesting discussions around a whiteboard, where ideas for the diversity committee were noted. |
