The EAEPE Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee
EAEPE’s strength comes from its appeal to diversity in understanding and creating change. Recognising, respecting and reproducing diversity are core practices in the association. EAEPE is working to realise the above statement through a range of new policies, initiatives and positions to improve diversity across the association.

Members of the EDI Committee
Ombudsperson
The EAEPE ombudsperson contributes to creating a structurally safer and more inclusive social environment for all members of the association and provides a point of contact for members to share complaints or suggestions (anonymously, if they wish) without approaching the EAEPE Council directly.
The ombudsperson further advises the EDI Council on the development of strategies and solutions to problems related to equality, diversity or inclusion from an independent perspective.
