Date and time: 14 November, from 13:00 to 17:30 Venue : Lijm en Cultuur, Delft Ignoring gender, age and ethnicity etc. in research and innovation has severe – sometimes even fatal - consequences. A few years ago - for the first time - a Swedish car manufacturer used crash test dummies that actually resemble the bodies of women. With this, they hopefully turn around the fact that women are involved in accidents less often than men, but when they are, they are injured more severely. To make women, people with an ethnical background or older people etc. visible in our research and innovation, we need to include the diversity of human-beings to its full extend. GIRI puts the diversity of humans centre-stage. In the 2022 DEWIS Symposium, Carmen Leicht-Scholten (RWTH Aachen University), Mara Tanelli (Politecnico Milano), David Abbink (TU Delft) and Claudia Werker (TU Delft) share their ideas on GIRI in STEM with you. They introduce general principles of how to tackle this kind of research and innovation as well as provide examples. In principle, all STEM research and innovation affecting human-beings can be turned into GIRI. Therefore, we will also give you the opportunity to discuss in groups how to turn such research projects in GIRI projects yourself. DEWIS Award Rob Mudde (Vice-Rector Magnificus, TU Delft), will present the DEWIS Award to the TU Delft employee who has made an extraordinary contribution to realising an inclusive work environment and to increasing gender equality and gender diversity at TU Delft for women scientists.
