Abstract:
In this report, we summarize the outcome of a consultation session held in January 2024 appraising adopted attitudes within scientific research. This Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Sandpit was a collaboration between interdisciplinary researchers from the ECMage (Extracellular Matrix [ECM] ageing across the life course interdisciplinary research network) and BLAST (Building Links in Ageing Science & Translation) networks, both part of the UK Ageing Networks, and the lifETIME (Engineered Tissues for Discovery, Industry and Medicine) Centre for Doctoral Training. Statements representing previously prevalent patterns of thinking that could influence research practice were put to delegate teams to discuss in relation to social and cultural behaviors that have been adopted over the years. Discussions focused on five themes across two main categories, aiming to identify and understand areas where change is needed, as well as to offer suggestions on how best to concentrate efforts to make the most impact.
