About The Initiative
Our aim is to provide the wider nuclear industry
with practical support around Diversity & Inclusion.
Inclusion and Diversity in Nuclear (IDN) is a standalone non-profit company. Our aim is to complement the great work and initiatives that are already happening, and to provide support and enablement at an industry-level nationwide.
Specifically, we are :

Our Background
IDN was founded in 2019, following a conversation between co-founders Monica Mwanje and Callum Thomas. They observed that ‘organisations often have high-level policies for Diversity & Inclusion, but how individuals who build, lead and manage teams can achieve it is often lacking.’
The aim of IDN is, therefore, to provide the wider nuclear industry with practical support around its Diversity & Inclusion efforts.
We have seen steady growth since our first conference in July 2019. In 2020, our team expanded with the addition of Val Saddi, now our Operations Lead. We have since hosted 2 annual conferences, 6 webinars, and are now gearing up for our 4th conference, taking place in Manchester on Thursday, 9th June 2022. This will be our first conference since becoming a standalone, not-for-profit company in December 2021.
To facilitate our operations as a standalone non-profit, we’ve been running an Industry Partnership scheme, which allows us to provide extra support to a select few organisations. This partnership has allowed us to build an industry-led network of like-minded organisations, with the aim to share good practice and expand our offering.
IDN specialises in providing resources, connecting people with best practice through our events, facilitating conversations, and making meaningful connections to enable change. Our aim is to future-proof the industry by helping organisations reach and maintain a level of proficiency in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
We have bolder and bigger plans for the future, so make sure to stay updated by signing up to our newsletter!
