Welcome to the Office of the Vice President for Equality & Diversity

NUI Galway is committed to the promotion of equality of opportunity and to creating and sustaining an environment that values and celebrates the diversity of our staff and student body. The principle of equality of opportunity is enshrined in the core values of NUI Galway as articulated in the University’s strategic plan 2020,  in legislation, and in the Public Sector Duty (Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014).

The Office of the Vice President for Equality and Diversity was established in 2016 and is responsible for leading and promoting all aspects of equality and diversity throughout the University.

Our aim is to be one of the best universities in the world in which to work, study, and contribute to learning, scholarship, and research. In order to achieve this goal, the knowledge and ambitions of all staff and students must be harnessed, and their different perspectives must be included to further develop a supportive and encouraging environment for all. 

Further information on the ongoing work at NUI Galway can be found below, including information on equality policies,  structures, action plans, events, and training opportunities.
