Report
On 19th January 2020, the first EUGLOH e-conference on Diversity and Inclusion, hosted by Lund University and the University of Szeged, with contributions from all 5 partner universities, was dedicated to underrepresented groups. The aim of the conference was to create awareness of the problems that underrepresented groups face and discuss what needs to be done to accomplish equal representation. On this occasion, local initiatives working with underrepresented groups were able to share their work.
Bringing together 138 participants, the first conference in the series was led by Lund University and the University of Szeged. Dr. Zoltán Bajmócy, Vice-Dean for Scientific Affairs at the Faculty of Economics at Szeged University, opened the conference with a talk on the definition on underrepresented groups. This was followed by a series of student testimonies as well as presentations on solutions to help students with learning difficulties, and how to bring to light underrepresented groups.
Feedback from the conference was very positive. One student said: “(The conference was) insightful and thought-provoking. Although I think myself as an informed person when it comes to inequality issues, there is always so much more to learn and new perspectives to take in.” Another said, “It was a great opportunity to connect with people from all over the world and get information about an important topic. The organisation was fantastic, everything went well, the presenters did a great job and it was nice to see the audience participate on a high level.”
