This page gives a visual overview of a number of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) events that we often mark and celebrate at Imperial.

Dates and details of events can often change, especially between years. If you notice anything incorrect on this web page or our shared Outlooked calendar, or if you have any suggestions about things to add, then please email the EDI Centre.

Outlook calendar

We have created a shared calendar of EDI days, weeks and months that you can add to your own calendar application, such as Outlook.

You can just view this EDI calendar online, or you can copy this link to the ICS calendar file and subscribe to the calendar in Outlook. Microsoft has a help article about subscribing to a calendar in Outlook. We recommend subscribing to the calendar, so it stays updated, rather than importing the ICS file.
