FBS EDI Awards 2023: The Shortlist

The Faculty of Brain Sciences EDI Celebration aims to acknowledge and appreciate the exceptional work and contributions made by both staff and students toward promoting and impacting EDI over the past few years.

With six distinct award categories covering various areas of the Faculty, there is a wide range of opportunities for staff and students to be nominated and recognised.

This year, we received a total of twenty-four nominations across all categories.
