欧洲为促进高等教育（HE）中的性别平等做出了重大努力。例如，2005年在英国设立了雅典娜天鹅宪章，2019年埃因霍温理工大学推出了伊琳·居里奖学金计划。但是，哪些举措解决了高等教育中更广泛的多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）挑战？哪些是专门针对工程教育的？这项探索性研究的目的是提高我们的方式，其中一组欧洲高等教育机构从事工程教育地址DEI在组织层面上，以及如何在公共领域内进行沟通的理解。在线数据的分析提供了一个有目的的抽样机构是由以下研究问题（RQ）的指导：1。如何在机构范围的战略框架中处理和定义DEI？2.有多少机构描述拥有机构范围的DEI组织？3.围绕DEI正在制定哪些具体政策，哪些领域被提及、定义和优先考虑？4.作为DEI活动的一部分，哪些结构和资源是工程学院和部门特有的？5.有哪些特定于工程的DEI计划是公共领域没有的，或者不是用英语写的？我们的样本由论文作者的主办机构组成，代表不同的欧洲国家：比利时、丹麦、法国、爱尔兰、葡萄牙、瑞士和英国。这项探索性研究的结果将用于为大规模调查的设计提供信息，以确定整个SEFI社区的DEI做法。
Significant efforts have been made to promote gender equality in higher education (HE) in Europe. Examples include the establishment of the Athena Swan Charter in the UK in 2005 and the 2019 launch of the Irène Curie Fellowship scheme by Eindhoven University of Technology. But which initiatives address broader diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) challenges in HE? And which are specifically focused on engineering education? This exploratory study aims to improve our understanding of the ways in which a set of European HE Institutions engaged in engineering education address DEI at an organisation level, and how this is communicated within the public domain. The analysis of online data provided by a purposive sample of institutions is guided by the following research questions (RQ): 1. How is DEI addressed and defined in institution-wide strategic frameworks? 2. How many institutions describe having an institution-wide DEI organization? 3. What specific policies around DEI are being developed, and what areas are mentioned, defined, and prioritized? 4. What structures and resources noted as part of their DEI activities are specific to engineering faculties and departments? 5. What engineering-specific DEI initiatives exist that are not available in the public domain or are not written in English? Our sample is composed of the host institutions of the authors of the paper, and represent different European countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland, and the UK. The findings of this exploratory study will be used to inform the design of a large-scale survey to identify DEI practices across the SEFI community.
