Resources

List of available EDI resources 

Members of the PandemicStop-AI consortium can draw on a wide range of EDI resources developed within the academic institutions with which they are affiliated. These resources reflect the institutional expertise specific to each university and provide an appropriate framework for managing this type of situation. The consortium is not intended to replace existing policies, frameworks, and mechanisms, which may in fact vary from one institution to another. 

In this context, the resources mobilised by consortium members can be grouped into two broad categories: 

• Resource persons available to support any situation involving discrimination, discriminatory harassment, or gender-based or sexual violence (GBSV). 

• Tools and resources aimed at supporting the adoption of inclusive research practices.
