Feature: Netwerk USP Inclusief

EDI Annual Review 2019-2020

Icon Netwerk

The inclusive network, Netwerk USP Inclusief was set up in 2019 for staff who work at Utrecht University or the University Medical Centre through the scheme for creating jobs for people with occupational disabilities. The network’s aim is to improve inclusion and integration for these members of staff by means of workshops and networking sessions. They are also given the chance to take a look behind the scenes at the university. The network has received financial support from the Diversity and Inclusion Incentive Fund to expand the network and increase awareness of its work. In the future, the network hopes to welcome participants who work in other organisations in the Utrecht Science Park and in Rijnsweerd, such as HU University of Applied Sciences, the insurance company a.s.r. verzekeringen and the Province of Utrecht
