Events and programmes in 2019

We constantly work towards becoming a centre of diversity and inclusion excellence. In 2019, the Bank participated in several awareness-raising events and programmes in 2019, including: the Luxembourg-based Leaders of Tomorrow Forum, the meetings of the International Dual Career Network, the annual meeting of Ubuntu – the Multilateral Development Bank Forum on Diversity and Inclusion, and others! We strengthened our relations with UNDP Women and a number of International Financial Institutions on matters pertaining to gender and diversity. In-house, we were honoured to welcome the Luxembourgish Prime Minister Xavier Bettel on IDAHOT day, we held keynote events to celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the ConnectedWomen Network held its annual Woman For the Future Award and we celebrated Diversity Day with a visit by the Luxembourgish Minister for Family Affairs. All in all, an eventful year in the EIB’s Diversity calendar!
