EDI Survey 2025

EDI Survey of the BioImagingUK Network

We have commissioned The Equal Group to conduct a survey of BioImagingUK and UK Physics of Life Network members as part of our EDI funding from UKRI-BBSRC. This survey aims to:

  • Understand current representation within our networks
  • Gather recommendations to improve our reach
  • Ensure all members feel welcome and included

Your participation is valuable - a high response rate is essential for meaningful diversity monitoring data.

Take the Survey!

The survey results will be presented on June 30th at the next BioImagingUK meeting at mmc2025. Registration for this free pre-congress meeting is now open via the mmc2025 website. 

If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, please feel free to contact me or The Equal Group directly.

Why Do I Need To Respond?

It isn’t mandatory to fill out the survey. However, this helps us to understand the representation and experience of inclusion within BioImagingUK and UK Physics of Life Network.
