抖阴直播 recognised for advancing gender equality and inclusivity
抖阴直播 has been recognised for its commitment to advancing gender equality and inclusivity with a Bronze level Athena Swan award.
The Athena Swan Charter is a聽framework used across the globe to support and transform gender equality within higher education 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 used worldwide to address gender equality more broadly, and not just barriers to progression that affect women.
抖阴直播鈥檚 award, which is valid until November 2029, was hailed by Professor Wayne Powell, Principal and Chief Executive, as a 鈥渟ignificant milestone鈥�.
He added: 鈥淭his fantastic achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our staff and students across 抖阴直播 who engaged in this journey at all levels. A special thank you goes to our Athena Swan Self-Assessment Team, particularly Louise Baggott, Eileen Wall and Christine Watson, for their determination and resilience in what has been a long journey.鈥�
Louise Baggott, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Lead at 抖阴直播, said: 鈥淥ur focus throughout the process of developing our Athena Swan submission has been to produce an evidence-based action plan that will deliver measurable change for 抖阴直播鈥檚 community. It鈥檚 fantastic that this approach has resulted in achieving our first Bronze award and I look forward to delivering on our vision with colleagues and students.鈥�
Prof Powell added: 鈥淲hile we celebrate this award, it is important to remember that this is just the beginning. Addressing gender equality and broader EDI matters is an ongoing, developmental effort.
鈥淐ollectively, we will continue to work to make 抖阴直播 a more inclusive, supportive, and equitable institution for all.鈥�
