An Update on Demographics and Diversity and Inclusion Efforts with the Belle II Collaboration

Description

These proceedings accompany the talk of the same name, marking the fourth
time that Belle II has presented in diversity and equity streams at high-energy
physics conferences. It will describe details of the efforts described
above, as well as examine the evolving demographics of our community, since mem-
bership began in 2011.

The Belle II collaboration comprises over 1000 international high energy physi-
cists, who investigate the properties of b-quarks and other particles at the luminosity
frontier. In order to achieve our aim of a successful physics program, it is essential
that we emphasise contributions from a diverse community. Belle II has thus far
focused on diversity in gender and sexuality, among other efforts within our collabo-
ration.These efforts are led by our two Diversity Officers, elected to the newly created
positions in 2018. Their role has been to promote an inclusive atmosphere, raising
awareness of diversity and being a safe first point of call for issues of discrimination
and harassment.
