Excellence in Gender Equality Award
The Warwick Institutional Athena Swan Self-Assessment Team and the Gender Taskforce are delighted to announce that following the continued success of the Excellence in Gender Equality awardsLink opens in a new window last year, we have launched our 2023 awards to acknowledge the ongoing commitment to gender equality and to share best practice.
Warwick is committed to developing an environment which promotes equality of opportunity, values diversity, and where students and staff can study and work free from discrimination and harassment. The Excellence in Gender Equality award recognises and celebrates individuals and teams that are making a positive difference within the gender equality agenda in support of this overall commitment.
This year's award will recognise an individual staff member, a student and a team (staff, student, or staff and student) who have contributed to the enhancement of gender equality here at Warwick, during the last two years. This impact will be demonstrated through a commitment to building more inclusive environments and experiences through their everyday behaviours and/or delivery of specific projects or initiatives.
The winners of the awards will receive a trophy (designed by Ant Brewerton, and made in-house by our School of Engineering) and a certificate to recognise their success.
Alongside the award winners, the judging panel often recognise students, staff and initiatives that they feel should have further mention. These are recognised with the presentation of a 'Highly Commended' or 'Commended' certificates.
Winners, Highly Commended, and Commended recipients (and their activities) will also be spotlighted through internal communications coverage, subject to their consent.
We look forward to receiving your incredible submissions.
