Thu. Nov. 14, 13:30 [1 hour]
Diversity and Inclusion in Research Environments
In the panel session the invited participants from diverse institutional backgrounds such as ESO, KASI, NARIT, SKA, JAXA, and ESA will 1) discuss the successful policies on diversity and inclusion; 2) the role and importance of outreach actions to create more balanced research environments and 3) benefits and caveats of diversity and inclusion in research environments.
The panel will be moderated by Amelia Ortiz-Gil, Chair of the IAU WG Astronomy for Equity and Inclusion and the participants of the panel are:
* Francesca Primas, ESO
* Junga Hwang, KASI
* Boonrucksar Soonthornthum, NARIT
* Mathieu Isidro, SKA
* Kumi Nitta, JAXA

Lessons from the Field: How to Create a Meaningful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Mission Statement (and platform) for an International Science Institution
Sandra Dawson, Thirty Meter Telescope, Manager – Community Affairs, Janesse Brewer –23.4 Degrees, Principal
This discussion group will explore what steps astronomy projects have taken to build a meaningful DEI commitment statement. A meaningful DEI statement creates the platform for advancing important institutional values as it relates to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This can be complicated for any organization, and particularly so for an international partnership where diversity, equity, and inclusion mean has different cultural implications in places such as Japan, U.S., China, India, Canada, Europe, Africa and Latin America. Gender, persons with disabilities, sexual orientation, religion, class and other factors are considerations that need to be understood within cultural contexts. This session will explore lessons learned, challenges, and barriers to how astronomy organizations are embracing DEI statements and the platforms they create for ensuring the field benefits from the widest range of perspectives and expertise.

Breaking Down Barriers to International Recruitment
Mathieu Isidro FRAS MCIPR, Deputy Communications Manager, SKA Organisation, Jodrell Bank
[~5-10min., introduction to the topics, ~20min, having 3 separate groups working in parallel, ~5min., a summary from each group, ~20min., discussion.]
1) Attracting diverse candidates – Social Media, Friend or Foe? – moderator Mathieu Isidro
The purpose of the discussion is to see how organisations and individuals can make better use of social media channels to attract candidates (Where do you hear about jobs? Do you regularly share your organisation’s jobs? Are social media helping or hindering job post visibility?). The discussion will be led by Mathieu, asking questions to the group to get their feedback and encouraging debate.
2) Barriers to high-quality diverse applications – Lack of Understanding or Lack of Effort? – moderator Fiona Davenport
The focus of this discussion is to address issues around the quality of applications in multicultural environments when recruiting people from different nationalities. Is there an international standard for how CVs and applications should be presented? Should applicants match the requirements of organisations or should organisations be more flexible? What cultural differences should we be conscious of? Etc. Fiona ask participants based on their own experiences
3) Meeting Expectations – What “must-haves” would you look for when joining a diverse organisation? – moderator from CSIRO (TBC)
What is important to you when looking for a job somewhere? Where are the kind of issues that you pay particular attention? What must-have benefits would you expect? The discussion will be driven by an astronomer with experience working abroad and internationally.
*Sharing Space 4* [Lunch Session/Guided Dialogues]
Fri. Nov. 15, 12:15 [1 hour]
Topic proposals are accepted on the spot to be discussed by those inside the room.
