APPDI Associação Portuguesa para a Diversidade e Inclusão is a non-profit organization that aims to promote diversity and inclusion in Portuguese society. They work with various organizations to implement policies and practices that support diversity within the workplace and society as a whole. One of their initiatives is the Carta Portuguesa para a Diversidade (Portuguese Charter for Diversity), which encourages employers to promote diversity through internal policies and practices.

Their goal is to create a more inclusive and equal working environment. APPDI also offers programs like Engenheiras Por Um Dia (Engineers for a Day), which encourages non-university female students to pursue engineering and technology fields, breaking the stereotype of these domains as male-dominated. Another initiative is Divers@s e Ativ@s, which helps organizations promote diversity and non-discrimination in a professional context.

By joining APPDI, individuals and organizations can actively contribute to the promotion of diversity and inclusion in Portugal. They offer a range of activities, events, and resources to support their members in their pursuit of diversity and inclusion goals
