On September 8th, the LGBT+ Network Leiden University organized a meeting for all members of the Academia@ Workplace Pride community to open the Academic Year! We looked back on what has been achieved and are looking ahead to the topics which will further improve LGBTIQ+ inclusivity in academia.
During the event, Workplace Pride Advisory Board member and senator Boris Dittrich was interviewed about his latest book “Mandate: My Fight for Equal Rights” by Workplace Pride Foundation Board co-chair Michiel Kolman 🏳️🌈 (pictured). Aya Ezawa shared the university’s D&I plans for the coming years, and I shared the latest findings from our research highlighting the importance of D&I policy support among board members, managers and employees. What an excellent event to kick off the school year!
