About GRIIT - Gender Equity Research and Inclusive Innovation in Technology

GRIIT (Gender Equity Research and Inclusive Innovation in Technology) is an interdisciplinary research and engagement network advancing gender-responsive and socially responsible technological innovation. Founded at Aston University, GRIIT integrates research, governance expertise, and cross-sector collaboration to address systemic inequalities in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies. Our aim is to embed equity, accountability, and inclusive innovation into the design, deployment, and governance of digital systems. Our work focuses on: • Gendered dimensions of cybersecurity and digital harm • Responsible AI and algorithmic governance • Technology-facilitated abuse and online safety • Inclusive innovation ecosystems • Leadership pathways and STEM access for underrepresented groups • Practical governance frameworks for industry and policymakers GRIIT builds on a portfolio of projects funded by Innovate UK, ESRC, and DSIT, and works alongside partners across government, industry, law enforcement, civil society, and academia. We translate research into measurable impact through policy engagement, advisory work, pilot initiatives, training, and community collaboration. Technology must be built by all, for all.
