CSBS is excited to invite faculty to a networking lunch hosted by the Illinois Diversity & Equity Science (IDES) interdisciplinary network on September 18th.

The IDES group focuses on elevating diversity and equity science, fostering collaborations across disciplines, and developing strategies for long-term impact in our community and beyond. We believe that the complex roots of inequality—spanning institutional structures, social and economic groups, families, and individuals—require innovative and diverse strategies and perspectives to create more just communities.

Join us for an engaging discussion with researchers across diverse fields who are passionate about advancing diversity and equity science. This lunch will offer an opportunity to network with colleagues, explore potential collaborations, and learn more about IDES’ strategic priorities, including developing multi-investigator research initiatives, fostering mentorship, and gaining national recognition for diversity and equity science.

Wednesday, September 18
12:00 – 1:30 PM
Siebel Center for Design, Starlight Room

Lunch will be provided.
