Inter-Agency DEI Workshop

eu-LISA's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Team successfully organised the largest inter-agency DEI workshop under the eu-LISA 2024 JHAAN Presidency, held at the Agency's Headquarters in Tallinn. The event brought together participants from 23 different EU institutions, with 24 attending in person and 19 joining virtually.

The workshop served as a platform for a productive exchange of ideas, best practices, and in-depth discussions on various DEI topics. eu-LISA's DEI Ambassador, Jakub Mayer, opened the session with welcoming remarks, followed by an insightful online keynote speech by UK-based speaker Shola Kaye on "De-biasing the Talent Journey."

The agenda included two interactive working groups. The first focused on "Diversity in Leadership," exploring ways to ensure diversity across different managerial levels. The second group examined "Representation vs. Participation," discussing meaningful tools and metrics to measure and track progress in DEI initiatives.

The event concluded with a presentation summarising the results of the working groups, offering valuable insights and actionable strategies to enhance DEI practices across EU institutions. This workshop marks a significant step towards fostering inclusive and equitable environments within the EU.
