For those of you who’ll be spending the summer writing on a proposal for the Horizon Europe deadlines in September - remember that we at DIVERSIunity can help your research and consortium become more inclusive and make diversity and internationalisation work together. DM me for an informal chat.

Had fun presenting at the @icwsm.bsky.social conference in Copenhagen today. Cramming 15 hours of training into a 15 minutes presentation was a challenge, but a good one. Thanks to all who spent their lunch break listening to me. 🙂
EDI Special Session: @robysinatra.bsky.social on quantifying bias and inequalities in science and @feldtfos.bsky.social on making equity, diversity and inclusion work in research projects.
Big thanks to the EDI co-chairs @alessianetwork.bsky.social and @elisalvai.bsky.social for organizing!

Today, after 15 years of supporting researchers with their research proposals, I have submitted a proposal to a research funder with me as the PI for the first time.
Keep your fingers crossed - and I'll tell you more about the project once we get funding for it.
