Dear partner,
 
We are delighted to announce that the 2016 GEDC Airbus Diversity Award is open for applications to 30 June 2016.
 
Airbus Group and the GEDC (Global Engineering Deans Council) are now looking for people and projects worldwide that have made a measurable difference in increasing diversity and inclusion amongst engineering students and graduates.
 
As a valued member of the Airbus Group University Partner Programme, we would appreciate your support in helping us to spread news of this great opportunity to reward and showcase successful diversity initiatives in this field.  Please share this call for applications with your network.
 
The GEDC Airbus Diversity Award promotes diversity in engineering. It recognises the people and projects worldwide which have encouraged students of all profiles and backgrounds to study and succeed in engineering. Together, Airbus Group and the GEDC (Global Engineering Deans Council) want to shine a light on good practice around the world and to inspire others to replicate successful initiatives in their own institutions.
 
The deadline to apply for this year’s award is 30 June 2016. Three successful finalists will be invited to attend the WEEF & GEDC Conference in Seoul, Korea, from the 6-10 November 2016. The recipient of the award will receive 10,000 USD and the two runners up will each receive 1,500 USD.
