Dr Dominic Galliano

Working together towards an open, transparent and equitable academic community

Hi there

My name is Dr Dom Galliano.

I am a freelance consultant working towards an open, transparent & equitable research and teaching community. Together with professional service staff, academics, universities, national funders and other organisations we challenge the systems that inhibit culture change across the academic ecosystem.

I support Public Engagement, Outreach, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion and Research Culture programmes within universities, national funders, learned societies and other partners working with universities. I often find projects require going across many of these labels and refuse to be placed in a single silo.

In addition to my freelance experience, I bring my years of leading culture change teams and delivering programmes from previous roles including Head of Public Engagement at UCL and Director of Public Engagement at SEPnet.

I am an advocate and activist helping improve the workplace for the LGBTQ+ community in STEM having advised the Institute of Physics, RSC and the Royal Astronomical Society on their LGBTQ+ programmes and worked with LGBTQ+ STEM.

Our Services

How can I help?

My values are kindness, empathy and humility. All my services below are built on these values. Not sure what you need at this stage, then just get in touch!
