Equality, diversity and inclusion calendar
This page gives a visual overview of a number of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) events that we often mark and celebrate at Imperial.
We have also created a shared calendar of EDI days, weeks and months that you can add to your own calendar application, such as Outlook. You can just view this EDI calendar online, or you can copy this link to the ICS calendar file and subscribe to the calendar in Outlook. Microsoft has a help article about subscribing to a calendar in Outlook. (We recommend subscribing to the calendar, so it stays updated, rather than importing the ICS file.)
Dates and details of events can often change. If you notice anything incorrect on these calendars, or if you have any suggestions about things to add, then please email the EDI Centre.
