Mission
DIVERIS aims to break down barriers, promote equal opportunities, and champion inclusive practices in the space and defence sectors. By working collaboratively with stakeholders from across Europe, we strive to create a workplace culture where everyone—regardless of background—can contribute, thrive, and lead.

- Collecting and analysing diversity data to guide informed decision-making.

Why DIVERIS Matters?
With women comprising less than 20% of the workforce in these sectors, many underrepresented groups facing systemic barriers and an aging workforce, the need for change is urgent and needed. DIVERIS is here to ensure that diversity and inclusion are not just ideals but integral components of the EU’s space and defence industries.
