An international research environment
Nordita brings together students, researchers and visitors from all around the world. We foster a culture of openness where ideas, backgrounds and experiences strengthen our community and advance discovery.
Challenges, and our commitment
We recognise that building an inclusive environment is an ongoing process. We actively address barriers to participation and work to ensure equitable opportunities for all – regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, background, sexual orientation or belief.
Nordita Day Celebrating EDI
Our commitment is reflected in everyday practices and in Nordita Day, an annual event featuring invited experts, talks and workshops on equality, diversity and inclusion. Together, these efforts help foster awareness, dialogue and a more inclusive research culture.
Meet our EDI committee
The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee at Nordita works to promote an inclusive, respectful and welcoming workplace. Its purpose is to support a positive environment for everyone and to help address structural inequalities that affect the community.
The committee works with Nordita’s leadership and staff to develop practical initiatives, improve procedures for raising concerns, support best practices, and uphold a Code of Conduct that promotes a harassment-free environment.
