*Subject:* Invitation to Vitae event: Equality and Diversity in the 
Researcher Environment.

As one of the participants and supporters of  the  Vitae  Every 
Researcher Counts project which ran in 2011 , we would like to extend a 
personal invitation to you to the following FREE event:

*Equality and Diversity in the Researcher Environment*
Tuesday, June 11 at Bristol Zoo - 10.00- 15.30

The purpose of this event is to inform participants of the strategic 
importance of equality and diversity policy and practice for 
researchers, embedded in the research environment, particularly in view 
of the RCUK Statement of Expectations for Equality and Diversity.

Equality and diversity initiatives for researchers in HEIs are often 
focused on achieving parity for women, but through a new programme of 
activities Vitae, working on behalf of the Research Councils and funding 
bodies, would like to promote a broader awareness of equality and 
diversity issues in this area to research managers and leaders.

*During this event we will explore:*

  * approaches to equality and diversity for researchers and research staff
  * what would a successful equality and diversity strategy look like
  * how could such a strategy be delivered so that 'every researcher counts'


*During the day participants will:*

  * explore an overview of the equality and diversity landscape, key
    policies and initiatives
  * receive an update on the Every Researcher Counts project
  * hear about Vitae's planned programme of activities and how
    institutions can get involved
  * share practice
  * have the opportunity to discuss and plan their own activities to
    enhance equality and diversity for researcher careers at their own
    institutions.

*The event is FREE to attend, but we ask participants to pay their own 
travel expenses.*
