Our Commitment
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) are central to AI-INTERVENE’s vision and delivery. We are committed to creating a doctoral training environment in which all students and staff can thrive, contribute fully, and feel a strong sense of belonging.
Addressing biodiversity challenges through AI requires a diversity of perspectives, skills, and lived experiences. AI-INTERVENE therefore embeds EDI across all aspects of the programme — from recruitment and training to supervision, partnerships, and long-term career development.
Our approach is guided by:
- UKRI and NERC EDI principles and good practice
- Evidence-based approaches to widening participation
- Continuous monitoring, evaluation, and improvement
Our EDI Principles
AI-INTERVENE is built on the following core principles:
- Equity of access – fair, transparent and inclusive pathways into doctoral study
- Inclusive culture – a respectful, supportive, and collaborative environment
- Diverse representation – across students, supervisors, and partners
- Flexibility and accessibility – recognising different needs and circumstances
- Accountability and transparency – using data and feedback to drive improvement
