From commitment to reality – the role of publishers in championing DEI in academia

Explore Springer Nature Group @ Frankfurt Book Fair 2022!

Publishers can and should have an active role in DEI. Why? Because through our publishing activity and partnerships we know that we can bring a credible evidence-based approach, awareness and interdisciplinary collaboration to tackling some of the key challenges in making the research environment more diverse, equitable and inclusive.

Bringing together representatives across publishing, partnerships and editorial, this session will explore the active role that publishers can take to help overcome some of these challenges, whilst addressing the opportunities that we collectively have at our disposal and exploring ways in which we, as a sector, can drive these forwards.

Speakers:
Thea Sherer, Director of Sustainability and Climate Action Officer, Springer Nature
Sowmya Swaminathan, Chair, Research & Solutions DEI Programme, Springer Nature
Celeste Biever, Chief News & Features Editor, Nature
