Diversity & Inclusion

EU TRANSPARENCY REGISTER nr 872643920128-16

At Competere, we believe that all individuals are different. We recognize that diversity goes beyond visible differences such as  race, ethnicity, age, gender, and ability. Such diversity is an extraordinary richness of human beings that helps us better  understand the universe in which we live. Each individual represents a different perspective and therefore contributes to  identifying problems and developing new solutions, increasing knowledge.

Thus, diversity and inclusion are essential values that  drive our success as a policy institute. We are committed to creating a community where everyone is welcomed, respected, and  valued for who they are, and where all individuals have equal access to opportunities to develop and succeed.

We also embrace  differences in background, experience, education, culture, religion, and perspectives. We believe that diversity fuels creativity  and innovation that helps us better understand and address the complex challenges that we tackle as a policy institute.

Inclusion  is also a key aspect of our commitment to diversity. We strive to create an inclusive environment where all individuals can  contribute their unique talents, ideas, and perspectives respectfully.

As a policy institute, we appreciate free thought and  opinions, and we encourage our stakeholders to express their ideas and viewpoints critically. We believe that this diversity of  thought helps us develop innovative and effective policies that address the most pressing issues facing our society today.

We also  understand that building a diverse and inclusive community is an ongoing process, and we are committed to continuous  learning, improvement, and growth. We will regularly assess our policies, practices, and programs to ensure that they promote  diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we will seek feedback from our employees and stakeholders to help us identify areas for  improvement.

Team and Speakers selection criteria

Knowledge, critical thinking experience, eloquence, credibility, availability,  and accessibility are among the key criteria we adopt at Competere to select our team members or speakers. Our aim is to  include and represent all genders, geographical origins, cultures, intellectual, and scientific perspectives.

We do not prioritize  political correctness over merit as a selection criterion. Instead, we seek honest feedback and constructive criticism.

Our teams  and panels represent the best we could put together by following the above criteria. However, we acknowledge that they can be  improved, and we rely on the effort and engagement of our stakeholders and our audience to advance profiles, connect with  them, and help us engage them in the attempt to present the largest diversity as possible.
