This year, UKRI is showing its support of LGBTQ+ Pride through the campaign: Take Pride in research and innovation.

The value and significance of the LGBTQ+ community to research and innovation cannot be overlooked. We recognise that representation and visibility is an essential part of equality, diversity and inclusion. As part of this campaign LGBTQ+ researchers, innovators and team members are sharing their perspectives on the successes, challenges and experiences of the sector.

We take Pride in research and innovation.
