Aims

Here in the School of Mathematical Sciences at UCC, we believe in upholding the principles of equality, diversity, and inclusion through both our teaching and our research work. The school's EDI committee plans activities, creates materials, and advises the Head of School on EDI-related policies and plans. For example, they have previously been responsible for:

• Celebrating awareness days such as:
  • International Women in Mathematics Day (12 May),  
  • International Day of Women in Statistics and Data Science (6 October),
  • Seachtain na Gaeilge (1-17 March), and
  • World Autism Month (1-30 April)
• Compiling the application for achieving the school's Bronze Athena SWAN Award and enacting its action plan.
• Organising school visits to encourage more girls to pursue mathematics and statistics.
