Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
Greater participation and inclusivity, as well as recognising the value of diversity, lead to fairer opportunities to fulfil everybody's potential. The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (EDIC) is an advisory committee established in consultation with the Nuffield Department of Medicine (NDM), University of Oxford, Athena Swan Committee and the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU).
