WASP Diversity and Inclusion Group

WASP Diversity and Inclusion Group was formed in 2021 with the purpose to increase the gender balance and to improve diversity in WASP. The group includes both members from the WASP community and external experts.

Efforts will be based on practical suggestions for how to promote and improve diversity and inclusion within the natural sciences, drawn from research on how processes of discrimination and privilege appear in scientific working practices at different points in the career trajectory. A core philosophy is that actions and initiatives should be identified and targeted based on collected hard and soft data, and knowledge from the scientific community about which type of activities has shown to give effect.

Reporting and support

If you have any concerns about inclusion, witness someone else facing difficulties, or have any other related concerns, please contact WASP_ombudsman@wasp-sweden.se.
