Internationalisation and Diversity
Join us at this year's ALPSP Annual Conference and Awards for a variety of sessions tackling the topic of Internationalisation and Diversity.  Amongst other things, we will be discussing 
  • How we can ensure that publishing more accurately reflects the diversity of the world we live in.
  • How we can address diversity in gender, geographic location, culture, career stage, or discipline and measure and report on our success.
Through a variety of linked talks we will examine ways to encourage all forms of diversity across our industry, as well as ways to hold ourselves accountable for progress towards these goals.  See the list of sessions below or view the full programme, including confirmed speaker details, on our here: https://events.bizzabo.com/alpsp19/agenda
