Equality, Diversity andÌýInclusion
Athena SWAN ECU Gender Charter
Established in 2005 to encourage and recognise the commitment of higher education institutions to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM).In 2011, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) announced that they would only expect to shortlist medical schools for biomedical research centre and unit (BRC/BRU) funding in 2016, if the school holds a Silver Athena SWAN Award.
In May 2015 the Athena Swan Charter was expanded to address gender equality more broadly, and not just barriers to progression that affect women.
We have won an Athena SWAN Silver Award for our continuing work to promote equal opportunities. The award promotes sustained progress towards achieving gender equality.
