Diversity, equity and inclusion is one of our highest strategic priorities and a fundamental part of the overall Springer Nature Group Strategy for 2021-2023. Our 3 year DEI strategy builds on the work we have done over recent years to create a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment at Springer Nature, and establishes our overall objective and key internal initiatives. In 2021, we conducted a global Inclusion and Diversity survey for the first time, gathering statistics about the diversity of our colleagues across the company as a whole and their experiences of inclusion. This presentation will provide an overview of Springer Nature’s internal DEI strategy as well as insights from our first inclusion survey.

The APE Conferences aim to provide a better understanding of scholarly communication and the role of information in science, education and society. They encourage debate about the future of value-added scientific publishing, information dissemination and access to scientific results and offer an independent forum for open discourse.
