The C4DISC DEIA Community of Practice is a peer-to-peer community of interest intended to enable participants to build trusted connections and provide knowledge-sharing opportunities. All those working in any DEIA capacity (whether in a dedicated role or not) in scholarly communications organizations are welcome.
This CoP provides the opportunity to learn from each other, share resources and best practices, hear of challenges and successes, explore opportunities for participating in cross-industry initiatives, coordinate effort, and to speak with one voice to increase effectiveness.
Join the Community by completing this short invitation form where we can collect some brief information and enable you to share your priorities for discussion. You will be notified of bimonthly community calls and be added to the discussion group.
We need your help to fulfill our mission to build equity, inclusion, diversity, and accessibility in scholarly communications and hope you will consider joining this community.
Learn more about the background to this new community on this page.
You can find previous DEIA Community of Practice Call Summaries here.
Volunteer to join the Planning Committee named below who manage the community itself and the bimonthly calls – fill in the working group application here and add “COP” where asked which group you wish to join.
