We are thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the interactive CREDO Workshop on Communicating Research, Equity, and Democratic Openness.
This 3-day hybrid workshop will bring together students, early career researchers, academics, and civil society organisations from diverse disciplines to explore academic censorship, the backlash against Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I), and the erosion of democratic values and evidence-based research.
