Equality & Diversity Plan
"We will continue to focus on recruiting, retaining, and advancing women and individuals from diverse backgrounds and intentionally include them."
This plan shows UEG’s commitment to creating an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment for all stakeholders and formulates clear targets and measures to advance Women in GI.
Representation of women in UEG
Participation of female experts in boards and committees and among faculty is steadily increasing (e.g., +5% among UEG Week faculty compared to 2021). This is due to targeted networking and recruitment efforts, regulations in UEG Statutes, and concerted efforts made at the discretion of our committee chairs and implemented by their members and UEG Headquarters Management. Growing female participation at the leadership level is vital to retain our highly engaged Young GIs of all genders. We see the highest engagement of women in UEG in our educational activities, both online and face-to-face. Women are strongly represented among recipients of awards and grants as well. To anchor gender equality and inclusiveness at all levels, we follow the UEG Equality & Diversity Plan.
