In collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and Utrecht University, the ECHO Seminar has been taking place for a number of years, which is dedicated to a more Inclusive Higher Education. On the basis of various panel discussions, interactive presentations and international knowledge sharing, more insight is provided into achieving an inclusive educational climate, with specific attention to \u2018evidence-based practices\u2019. As an educational institution, how do you ensure an inclusive working and learning environment? How do you close the persistent gap between the success of students with and without a migration background?<\/p>\n

As interest in diversity and inclusion in higher education increases, so does the need for structural and specific data. During the seminar, extensive attention was paid to this with both quantitative and qualitative initiatives that contribute to more knowledge about diversity and inclusivity.<\/p>\n

Summit Opportunities for a More Inclusive Higher Education at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), December 1st and 2nd, 2022.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2016, ECHO, Expertise Centre for Diversity Policy, and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) started organising an annual meeting dedicated to Opportunities for a More Inclusive Higher Education.<\/p>\n

The host organization of the sixth edition Opportunities for a More Inclusive Higher Education is EUR\u2019s Diversity and Inclusion Office. Host organizations in previous years were EUR, University of Amsterdam, Inholland University of Applied Sciences, Utrecht University and De Haagse Hogeschool. This year\u2019s summit is organized by ECHO, the Diversity and Inclusion Office of the EUR, the Advisory Committee on Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education and Research (DIHOO) and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. With this summit, as in previous years, we want to present new knowledge, vision and concrete applications with the aim of inspiring and supporting participants in achieving an inclusive educational climate. What can we learn from successes and pitfalls from each other\u2019s context at home and abroad?<\/p>\n

From incidental to structural<\/em><\/p>\n

Diversity and inclusion are no longer an occasional issue. It is becoming a mainstream part of the strategic agenda of many institutions. Ideally, this should focus on a structural approach aimed at changing regular processes, the content of the educational curriculum, the competences of professionals and the infrastructure of provision needed. In order to create equal opportunities, more attention is needed to the path that young people take to higher education. A structural approach aimed at achieving an inclusive learning and working environment means that sexism, racism, heterosexism and validism are not left unaddressed and are combated in a targeted way. The well-being of students and staff in higher education also deserves attention in such an approach.<\/p>\n

EUR and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) metropolitan equity approach<\/em><\/p>\n

EUR has launched a metropolitan strategic approach in cooperation with the Municipality of Rotterdam, schools (primary and secondary), higher education institutions and other stakeholders in Rotterdam. Through outreach activities, they are committed to optimizing the chances of young people in Rotterdam to successfully progress from primary to secondary education, as well as providing good preparation for orientation and entry into higher education. EUR\u2019s strategic approach is inspired by the success of UCLA which, as a selective public university, is one of the most diverse universities in the United States. Part of making university\u2019s access and retention policies more inclusive is to actively engage in outreach in the city\u2019s most diverse neighborhoods, with UCLA students representing these communities working with high schools to make an impact. Semiha Denkta\u015f, professor and Chief Diversity Officer at EUR and Abel Valenzuela, professor and Dean of Social Sciences at UCLA will present how EUR and UCLA contribute to equity at the metropolitan level.<\/p>\n
