The Aalto University EDI Plan defines the ways in which we promote the equality, diversity and inclusion of our community: our current state, recent development and development plans for the three-year period 2022-2024.

Aalto University's accessibility implementation plan includes accessibility guidelines, objectives and measures for the period 2022–2024. The accessibility development is part of Aalto's EDI work, and this plan complements Aalto's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Plan. 

We have built our EDI Plan in a community-driven way with faculty, staff and students participating in workshops and meetings in which priorities and development plans were gradually defined. In addition to workshops and meetings, an open online platform for all employees and students was used to gather ideas and feedback. We also conducted interviews with key stakeholders. The plan has been discussed and aligned in Aalto Management Team, Academic Affairs Committee, HR Management Team, Learning Services Management Team, Schools Equality Task Forces, and occupational safety and employee representatives before its final
approval by the President of Aalto.

The EDI Plan feeds into annual action plans that outline concrete action steps for each year at the university level and in each of Aalto’s six Schools. 

Follow-up and statistics

The management and development of EDI work is part of Aalto University’s overall quality system of continuous development (Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle), and is aligned with the university’s annual planning cycle. The EDI Committee monitors EDI statistics annually.
