ATSE recognises that a concerted national effort is required to overcome the cultural, institutional and organisational factors that limit diversity and inclusion within the science, technology, education and mathematics (STEM) sector.
Equity, diversity and inclusion are important to and for ATSE. We know that organisations with established cultures of equity, diversity and inclusion outperform those without, on dimensions such as creativity, innovation, problem solving, robust governance, financial performance, outcome delivery, and organisational resilience. Providing fair and equal opportunities to people is the right thing to do, ensuring that every member of the team and those we work with are able to contribute to the best of their ability and feel valued. Lastly, we recognise we have a legal obligation to prevent discrimination, harassment and bullying and other unlawful conduct in our organisation and in connection with our work.
ATSE commits to equity, diversity and inclusion action and outcomes as core business with our strategic priorities, rather than a special initiative within the Academy. Equity, diversity and inclusion are a cross-cutting principle of ATSE's 2025-2030 Strategic Plan.
