Athena Swan Network
Staff from across all departments meet regularly to discuss progress towards meeting our University-wide Athena Swan action points and prepare individual departmental applications.
The departmental representatives act as a communication channel between academic departments and the Network; they also convene local departmental discussions.
The Network is an opportunity for departments to hear up-dates on current initiatives and progress on Athena Swan, as well as scrutinise other departments’ submissions and encourage and support them with their Athena Swan work.
If you'd like to learn more about the Athena Swan Network and can't find what you need here, contact us and let us know.
