About Us:
Diversity in Physics, Finland (FinDiP) is a working group of the Finnish Physical Society that aims to make physics (at Finnish universities) more diverse and inclusive. We welcome new committee members!
The specific aims of FinDiP are to:
- Raise awareness of:
- benefits of diverse teams;
- obstacles faced by researchers from under-represented groups at their workplaces and in their career development;
- factors that make our work communities and spaces non-inclusive.
- Increase the opportunities for all researchers interested in diversity and wellbeing to network, exchange information and discuss concrete measures to improve our workplace.
- Promote and organise events related to diversity, equality, inclusivity and well-being, e.g. in national events such as Physics Days.
- Maintain a national network of diversity and wellbeing groups across physics departments in Finland and international groups, and amplify the impact of their events.
