EDIA

Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA)

The Knowledge Media Institute was conceived over 25 years ago to help the OU succeed in its promotion of educational opportunities and social justice in the age of emerging new technologies. We have sought to be true to The Open University's goals centered around inclusivity and openness and we are proud of our track record in attracting, throughout our history, lab members from a wide variety of backgrounds - at any one time, KMi typically contains around 20 distinct nationalities within our 60-80 personnel. We strongly believe that our diversity is one of our core strengths that makes KMi both a very successful institute and a highly motivating place to be.
