Description

In 2020, the MAGIC collaboration launched an initiative aimed at enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) among its members. A key effort of this initiative was the distribution of a survey to all MAGIC members, designed to assess the current state of DEI and identify potential challenges or opportunities in these areas. Since then, three surveys have been conducted addressing topics such as demographics, working conditions, recognition, harassment, bullying, and discrimination. I will present the methodology and strategy behind these surveys, along with an overview of their impact within the collaboration and the actions taken as a direct response to the findings. I hope to inspire the audience to start similar initiatives in other collaborations.
