BRAID is committed to equality of opportunity. We seek to locate and amplify under-represented voices and perspectives on responsible AI and work to promote a positive culture, one that celebrates difference, challenges prejudice and ensures fairness and respect.
Our Accessibility Fund is a dedicated fund designed to enable equitable participation in BRAID activities. The fund is open to existing BRAID award-holders, and to those applying for BRAID schemes. Participants attending BRAID events can also request support.
Requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Some examples of what may be considered include:
Applicants, award-holders and event participants with additional needs relating to their personal circumstances, such as caring responsibilities and/or health-related conditions are invited to request support.
We will also consider requests from researchers who wish to improve the accessibility of their BRAID projects for participants e.g. financial support to allow Early Career Researchers or other under-represented groups to participate in events.
We are still establishing the type of support that is useful to people, so please ask for what you need.
