As an academic association, we have an ethical and social responsibility to ensure that our practices and ways of working are in line with the highest standards of equity, diversity and inclusion, in other words, to ensure that our policies, functions, practices and procedures are not directly or indirectly discriminatory. As an association, we appreciate that our activities are enriched and extended by the diverse talents and contributions of members, regardless of their background, gender, ethnicity or any other distinguishing characteristic. Indeed, encouraging such diversity generates challenges, innovations and perspectives which may not be fostered within more homogenous groups. EARLI brings people together from different geographies, cultures, languages and contexts to share and discuss research on learning and instruction, based on mutual respect and reciprocal understanding.
