As Pride Month unfolds, many companies adopt logos reflecting the pride or progress pride flag. While these gestures are important, they sometimes raise questions about the depth of commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, leading to accusations of pinkwashing or rainbow-washing.
At InterEngineering, we believe that impactful change in diversity and inclusion goes beyond symbols. It’s about creating genuine and lasting initiatives within our workplaces.
This month, as part of our ongoing webinar series, we’re focusing on moving beyond the rainbow flag to discuss actionable steps that engineering organisations can take to foster inclusivity.
We’re thrilled to invite you to our upcoming webinar, where we will delve into meaningful discussions on how to integrate genuine diversity and inclusion practices into your professional environment. This session is not just about celebrating Pride Month, but about exploring how we can make a real difference throughout the year.
The webinar will cover a range of topics aimed at creating sustainable inclusivity within the engineering sector. Our speakers will share their expertise on effective strategies and initiatives that go beyond mere symbolic support. Whether you’re an industry veteran or just beginning your journey in engineering, this session promises valuable insights that can help you enhance your workplace culture.
We believe in creating spaces where everyone feels valued and included. This webinar is part of our broader commitment to supporting the InterEngineering community and fostering environments where diversity thrives.
Our webinar features a line-up of distinguished speakers who bring a wealth of experience and knowledge in the field of diversity and inclusion. They are ready to share their insights on how to make a tangible impact within your organisation.
Erik Tomlin has been at the forefront of the Royal Academy of Engineering’s efforts to advance equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). With a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in engineering, Erik will provide valuable insights into creating platforms that promote genuine inclusivity. His talk will focus on strategic initiatives that organisations can implement to support EDI goals effectively.
Kristina Korsaks brings a practical approach to diversity and inclusion within the engineering landscape. At the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, she has spearheaded numerous initiatives aimed at fostering a more inclusive environment. Kristina’s session will highlight actionable strategies that go beyond surface-level commitments, offering practical advice on how to embed these practices into your organisation’s culture.
Tate Smith is an expert in building inclusive workplace cultures and has worked with various organisations to develop robust diversity and inclusion frameworks. As the founder and director of his own consulting firm, Tate will share his insights on how to create a workplace where everyone feels they belong. His discussion will focus on embedding genuine inclusivity into organisational practices, ensuring that diversity is more than just a box-ticking exercise.
We’re excited to bring these thought leaders together for a discussion that promises to be both inspiring and informative.
Their combined expertise will provide you with practical tools and strategies to create a more inclusive and supportive workplace.

We believe that an inclusive and positive university experience for neurodiverse engineering students is fair, healthy, and what the engineering profession – and society – needs. Universities and engineering faculties have varying responses to the needs of their neurodiverse students, from the legally dubious to those which allow individuals to genuinely flourish.
This work aims to capture these different areas of performance and express them as a neuro-inclusion maturity framework for engineering education. In going about this, we are committed to an approach of co-design – working with a community of students, academics, and professional services colleagues to shape a maturity framework that will help universities to understand and improve their own neuro-inclusive practices.
Students are actively encouraged to participate.
