Athena SWAN @ ICG

Recognising advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all

 

The Athena SWAN Charter was established by the Equality Challenge Unit to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment in higher education and research.

After the University of Portsmouth was awarded Athena SWAN Bronze as a Higher Education Institution, the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation has been awarded an Athena SWAN Bronze award in 2015, which recognises and celebrates good employment practice in the department.

Our Athena SWAN Self-Assessment Team (David Bacon, Georgia Heath, Andrew Lundgren, Laura Nuttall, Obinna Umeh, David Wands and Sam Youles) is a balanced team of volunteers representing ICG graduate students, research, support and academic staff.
