MRSpride – uniting LGBTQ+ professionals and allies across the research sector

We are on a mission to magnify the voices of LGBTQ+ communities in the research sector to make it more inclusive and diverse, providing a platform to highlight the unique ways the research sector can share the stories of our communities. MRSpride is the MRS network for LGBTQ+ professionals and allies working in research, insight and data analytics. It provides a safe space for LGBTQ+ researchers to meet, collaborate and take part in important conversations.

MRSpride:

• Amplifies – We campaign for diversity, inclusion and equality in our sector and beyond. We amplify the voices of LGBTQ+ people, allies and heroes.

• Represents – We give a platform to LGBTQ+ research stories, encourage best practice in researching our communities and promote research as a tool for understanding them.
• Supports - We create a safe space and community for LGBTQ+ professionals and allies in our sector and support them in their journey to be their true selves at work.
