ICRS Statement on Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity
A great strength of the International Cannabinoid Research Society is the diversity of its membership. Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are central to the values, ethos and mission of the ICRS – to advance cannabinoid research and to support and celebrate the achievements of cannabinoid researchers, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, mental or physical ability, age, gender identity or sexual orientation. The ICRS strives to uphold the highest standards of humanity and integrity for its members and advocates for social accountability, equality, and respect for human rights within civil society, governments and other societal actors. Over the past 24 months, we have established an EDI Committee and have developed the ICRS EDI strategy/framework. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please let us know at EDI@icrs.co.
