About the IRC

Since then, the group’s scope and work have expanded to include guest lectures, research seminar series, internal consultancy on matters related to inclusivity in scientific research and teaching, diversifying and decolonise the life science curriculum and external seminars designed to be suitable for all academic disciplines. Through its work, the IRC has now become an established and in-demand group of highly engaged individuals on the topics of inclusive research practice and research culture.
