Our commitment to EDI
For the BSA's vision to come to fruition, we need to help science become part of culture, including those who are currently least engaged.

The BSA has established three objectives for our work with EDI:
- Develop our staff and internal systems to ensure the BSA reflects the society we want to see, and develops inclusive culture and policies;
- Change our programmes to increase their relevance to audiences who are traditionally under-represented in science engagement activities, and empower people to run science engagement activities for their networks and communities;
- Influence other organisations and individuals in the science engagement to sector to develop and improve their EDI practices in capability and audience development to reach new audiences.
We recognise that in many settings, at the BSA and beyond, EDI can be seen as an add-on or ‘fix’ to the regular work. Our aim is for EDI to be the heart of everything we do.
No agencies please.
