Background

Diversity and inclusion are key challenges for Science education in the 21st century. The Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) committee of the Faculty of Science has so far focused on gender issues for personnel, and offers trainings on bias in recruitment. These initiatives are very important. However, the international literature indicates that teaching is also an important part of inclusive education, and that the challenges are to an extent specific to mathematics, computer science, the natural and life sciences (e.g., Avraamidou, 2020; Solomon, 2007). This workshop is therefore intended to build on existing initiatives and support the formation of a community of practice within the faculty, defining and practising inclusive Science education in the Dutch context.
