The ADBIS community believes that diversity and culture of support encourage retention and attraction of talent, promote diversity of thought and perspective, and help make the scientific community more flexible and responsive in times of change. For these reasons, ADBIS 2025 participates in the Database Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiative aiming to guide researchers in our community to adopt a more inclusive mindset.
