SCI EDI action plan

The Aalto University Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Plan (EDI plan) supports the continuous promotion of equality and inclusion at Aalto University, and is based on the strategy and values of the university. To support and follow up on its fulfilment, each school prepares its own practical action plan. In the School of Science the focus of EDI work in 2025-26 is on 

  1. Diverse community
  2. Aaltogether culture
  3. Inclusive and accessible education

​More detailed actions are listed in the SCI Equality, diversity and inclusion action plan and each action has been assigned a task force that ensures the implementation of the plans. The school plan is reevaluated and developed on an annual basis.
