Year One Workshops
As part of year one of the DISC project, workshops were held for those working in the science communication community to share success stories, and determine the barriers and limitations facing them in working with ethnic minority groups.
The science communication workshops were run in parallel with workshops for ethnic minority groups.
Reports of these workshops are available below. A combined report (pdf 31KB) from both the science communication and BME workshops is also available
