IODP and I-REACCH

I-REACCH (Inclusive Research Environment Achieved through Culture Change) is a Wellcome-funded University of Leicester initiative addressing barriers to participation, progression and belonging in research culture. Tayyaba Khurram secured funding for two projects: 1) a technician-led framework for laboratory accessibility; and 2) a conflict management framework for high-pressure working situations, drawing on NHS conflict-resolution models adapted for the International Ocean Drilling Programme (IODP³) community. This framework will inform our offshore code of conduct, delivering on our commitment to continuous improvement and to inclusion, e.g., via physical accessibility or interpersonal dynamics under pressure. 

Project Lead: Tayyaba Khurram.

Co-proponents: Sarah Davies, Tim van Peer, and Benjamin Palmer.
