ABSTRACT
The RESET project, funded by the European Commission and bringing together seven European universities, seeks to overcome the contradiction that can persist between the imperative of scientific excellence disseminated within universities and the notion of equality, given the biases that this imperative entails. The aim of this book is to leverage the experience of this project, which was developed over four years, and to foster cultural change in academia in favour of equality, diversity, and inclusion. RESET’s strategy was twofold: firstly, to change the definition of scientific excellence to a more inclusive one, and secondly, to develop a wide range of cross-disciplinary actions involving all sectors of the universities, mobilising various stakeholders: human resources managers, teaching staff, communication officers, researchers, etc. Acknowledging the difficulties and resistances encountered, this book shares useful tools and methods for making excellence and inclusion work together.
