Diversity Day: Embracing Cultural Diversity

We’re excited to announce that this year’s Diversity Day will take place on Thursday, 25th September, with the theme: Embracing Cultural Diversity.

As in previous years, the day will feature a program of talks and panel discussions at CWI (Turingzaal) from 13:00 to 16:00, followed by a borrel and informal activities at AMOLF to continue the celebration. Please mark the date in your agenda!

This year’s theme, Embracing Cultural Diversity, focuses on recognising, appreciating, and valuing the rich variety of cultural backgrounds, traditions, languages, and perspectives that we bring to our scientific and social communities. The event will celbrate and explore how cultural diversity shapes our identities and enriches our workplace, and how we can foster greater inclusion and mutual understanding.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be reaching out to invite those who would like to share their experiences or reflections on cultural diversity, whether personal or observed, to help shape the event.

We look forward to building a thoughtful, celebratory, and inclusive event together.
