MRS Pride Webinar: Being visible - the meaning of being seen for who we are

Join us for a powerful lunchtime session exploring the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ professionals in the research industry. This 45-minute webinar will delve into the personal journeys of visibility, the ongoing process of coming out, and how organisations can move beyond performative allyship to truly support LGBTQ+ employees year-round.

Our panellists will reflect on:

• What inspired them to become visible and their first experiences of coming out
• The daily realities of navigating identity in professional spaces
• How companies can foster genuine inclusivity beyond Pride Month
• Advice for those considering stepping into visibility

Whether you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or simply curious to learn more, this session offers a space for reflection, connection, and action.
