Athena Swan Award Applications

Athena SWAN Charter

The Athena Swan Charter is a framework which is used across the globe to support and transform gender equality within higher education (HE) and research. Established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment, the Charter is now being used across the globe to address gender equality more broadly, and not just barriers to progression that affect women.

The University currently holds a Silver Award for November 2024. 

The Department currently holds a Silver Award for the Athena Swan Charter, which is up for renewal in March 2027.
