Work package three (WP3) delivers a series of workshops to support the creation of a more inclusive research culture, and positively impact on the retention, progression, and wellbeing of PGR from racially minoritised groups.
Workshops are divided into two strands, the first of which is for Doctoral School staff and supervisors and creates space for staff to examine their current practice, and individual roles in perpetuating the inequalities that exist in doctoral education for postgraduate researchers (PGRs) from racially minoritised groups.
The second strand for PGRs involves workshops designed to create a sense of belonging, and provide space for researchers to connect, share their experiences and gain the knowledge, insights and language to support them in navigating the higher education system.

Equity in Doctoral Education through Partnership and Innovation (EDEPI)
Equity in Doctoral Education through Partnership and Innovation is a project which aims to increase participation of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups in doctoral education.
Work package one (WP1): Rethinking our approach to postgraduate researcher recruitment
Working with NHS partners across Nottingham, Sheffield and Liverpool, WP1 involves the delivery of workshops to de-mystify PhD study, and support NHS staff from racially minoritised groups through the process of applying for a part-time PhD.
Work package two (WP2): Reforming admissions practices that create barriers to entry
Working with the UK Council for Graduate Education, WP2 involves the development of a competency-based admissions framework which seeks to tackle inequality at scale by shifting the focus to the competencies required to successfully undertake PGR study, rather than the reliance on measurable academic track record and previous awarding institution.
