The Conference will enable participants to:

- discuss the implications of the Research Excellence for BME researchers within the field of race, ethnicity and education;
- identify the challenges for BME researchers and academics with a view to finding ways to meet these challenges;
- support the work of early carer researchers in the field of race, ethnicity and education;
- develop a supportive network of individuals who can help to nurture the work of other BME researchers and academics;
- identify future areas for discussion and support related to the work and career progression of BME researchers and academics.
