Equator

Working towards Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Geography, Earth and Environmental Science

The Equator Project

Equator was a six-month project, funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council, that developed three evidence-based interventions targeting barriers to ethnic minority participation and retention in geography, Earth and environmental science postgraduate research.

The work was a collaboration between professional bodies, grassroots organisations, academic institutions and the public sector, and brought together students and researchers from both within and outside of academia. The project is now complete, and a range of resources have been created to share transferable insights and recommendations.
