All diversity interested colleagues are cordially invited to join this NWO LGBTQI+ event including our Workplace Pride colleagues from the University of Leiden, TU Delft, ASML etc.
LGBTQI+ means the full spectrum of the human experience including S(traight) and (C)is. Letters keep being added because the deeper we look the more variances we see. Everyone has a place in the spectrum, in the rainbow
NWO aims for excellent science that flourishes and has maximum impact on our society. Stimulating an inclusive scientific culture that takes diversity in the broadest sense into account is a key component to that aim. Inclusion and diversity lead to inspiration, creativity and innovation.
