We support a rotating leadership style and change our group leaders every 6 months - we will keep this website updated with any changes. 

Who are we?

We are a group of early-career professionals working at the Department of Geosciences, UiT The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø, Norway. 

Learn more about us and how the group started on the Who we are page. If you are interested in starting your own group but don't know where to begin, we have gathered some experiences and tips here: Start a group?

What do we do?

Our goal is to raise awareness and share resources about JEDI related topics. We strive to create an open, inclusive and diverse working environment, and regularly organize both internal and open events for employees and students, encourage important discussions, and share resources and information about JEDI topics.
