Diversity in Physics, Finland (FinDiP) is a working group of the Finnish Physical Society. The aim of FinDiP is to make physics at Finnish universities and institutes more diverse, equal and inclusive.
The annual general meeting of FinDiP will be held on 26 May, 2025 at 14:30-16:00 (EEST, UTC+03). The meeting will be organized online in Zoom (https://aalto.zoom.us/j/69976912632 ) and is open to anyone interested in attending! Details for the Zoom meeting are added below.
FinDiP is run by a small board of researchers and department administrators interested in diversity issues. We are looking for new board members and new ideas for national activities and engagement on diversity. For example, FinDip has organized plenary and parallel sessions on diversity, inclusion and equality, at the annual Physics Days conference. We are particularly interested in involving colleagues from different career stages and different Finnish universities, and in supporting the local physics diversity and well-being groups. If you are interested in learning more about FinDiP activities, please feel free to contact any of the board members. 
For further information about the general meeting, please contact Tuuli Miinalainen (tuuli.miinalainen{~at~}fmi.fi) or Ondřej Krejčí (ondrej.krejci{~at~}utu.fi).
Welcome to join our annual meeting!
