Running an Inclusive Project

The template below offers a starting point for designing research internship projects that support progression to postgraduate research, as well as a prompt to think about how internship opportunities can be promoted to target groups.

Guidance and support from The University of Leeds about the legal and practical things to consider when proposing or implementing positive action within doctoral recruitment.

This document outlines proposals to the YCEDE Management Board for the establishment of an in-house training programme for mentors and advocates who are signed up to our mentorship and advocacy programmes. The proposal includes recommendations and things to consider as part of setting up such a programme.

Produced as a direct result of feedback from some of our PGRs feeling excluded at one of our own events, this comprehensive guidance was developed in collaboration with our Scholars Board, in order to outline our expectations of ourselves and our attendees at events. It also addresses wider issues and things to consider around allyship, positionality, and intersectionality.

This publication, authored by colleagues at The University of Leeds, outlines their institution’s journey to improving postgraduate diversity across the university, starting with the conception of YCEDE through to discussing what can/should happen after the project has ended. While much of this reflection focuses on Leeds, colleagues at other institutions will undoubtedly find the discussions and reflections universally valuable/relevant.
