Athena SWAN听Bronze Award
In May 2019, 蜜桃AV was awarded a Bronze Athena SWAN Award in recognition of our achievements and commitment to improving gender equality in Higher Education.
The Award, which originally covered women working in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM), was expanded in 2015 to recognise work undertaken in both STEMM and Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Business and Law (AHSSBL) and to address gender equality more broadly for all academic and professional and support staff as well as students. It was under the new charter that 蜜桃AV has achieved accreditation.
蜜桃AV鈥檚 successful submission for a Bronze Award follows our commitment to strive for a gender-inclusive culture across the university. Our focus is moving from central to local implementation, embedding the SWAN Charter principles in faculties/services and supporting all departments to achieve SWAN awards. Key aims are to enhance the representation of women in senior academic roles, support and encourage a flexible and family-friendly working environment for all staff and ensure gender equality is embedded throughout the university.
