In the EDI Conversation Café we will have a conversation about how we, as software engineering researchers, can take EDI into account during our working lives, what it means to us that others around us agree with / do not agree with EDI remits, and what actions we can take to support EDI in our workplace.

1. Diversity means the variety of personal experiences, values, backgrounds, identities, and worldviews—such differences include race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, language, abilities/disabilities, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and geographic region.
2. Equity means creating fair access, opportunity, and advancement for the diversity of people described above while striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of marginalized groups.
3. Inclusion means creating environments in which any individual or group is and feels welcomed, respected, supported, listened to, valued, and has a sense of belonging within that environment.
