About the Equity, Diversity & Inclusivity (EDI) Strategic Advisory Working Group
The OMERACT Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Strategic Advisory Working Group serves a dual purpose within OMERACT. This hybrid group operates as a traditional working group focused on EDI initiatives and projects and is a strategic advisory body to the OMERACT Management Group. This distinctive structure enables the group to implement actionable EDI efforts and provide expert guidance to inform OMERACT's overarching policies and practices.
Through our dual role, we are committed to:
-
Ensuring Diverse Participation
-
Fostering Cultural Openness
-
Supporting Inclusive Working Groups
-
Expanding Global Collaborator Engagement
-
Improving Accessibility and Inclusivity
