About
Mission
Generate sustained world-leading research on equality.
Focus on disciplines that will have a transformative societal impact.
Influence creation, interpretation, and amelioration of legal and social norms on equality and non-discrimination worldwide.
Drawing on strengths from across the University of Portsmouth, AEGIS builds research capacity internally across career levels, and externally with partners. This aim is aided by existing successful research collaborations.
AEGIS focuses on mentoring, sharing knowledge and contacts, data gathering (including supporting non-academic partners in building momentum for change) and reinforcing reciprocal relationships.
Vision
A global network of partnerships that build evidence and research capacity on how to end gender and social injustices and promote inclusiveness and diversity.
