If you would like to become involved in EDI initiatives and contributing to positive change for everyone, consider becoming a member of UCD’s EDI Subgroups and engaging with our UCD EDI Employee Networks by completing an expression of interest form for any of sub-groups or networks that you are in joining below. Further information on EDI initiatives can be found on the EDI website and in our EDI Annual Reports. Read more about the EDI sub - groups and Networks here.

Please ensure that you discuss participation on the group with your line manager in advance of submitting an expression of interest due to the time commitment involved in being on a sub-group including attending meetings and supporting the implementation of initiatives. Sub-groups will normally meet on a quarterly basis.
