Fostering Safe and Inclusive Research and Learning Environments
To achieve excellence across all biomedical and STEM disciplines, we are committed to cultivating a safe and inclusive research and learning environment for all — free of mistreatment, harassment and discrimination.
Key components of safe learning environments include publishing guidelines for reporting adverse incidents, hosting regular workshops and trainings, and implementing safe learning policies. These structures contribute to an inclusive environment where all members of the SDM community can achieve their greatest potential.
