Oh, to be in the mind of a research funder! How do they think? How do they work? What is that secret to get that grant?

The secret of course is that there is no secret, but in this episode we can share with you a little about what global public research funders think about equality, diversity and inclusion in research.

We talk to Roshni Abedin (UK) and Ana Maria Fonseca de Almeida (Brazil). They are both part of the Gender Working Group under Global Research Council. Global Research Council is a virtual organisation promoting communication and collaboration among science funding agencies around the world.

So learn more about how they collaborate, what to expect on the diversity agenda, and how funders think about the science ecosystem.
