Athena SWAN bronze award

The Athena SWAN Bronze Award has been awarded to the School of Economics

In the most recent round of Athena SWAN awards, the School of Economics at Edinburgh has been awarded Bronze status. This recognises that in addition to University wide policies, the School is working to promote gender equality and to address challenges particular to the School and to the discipline of Economics.

The award ceremony will be held at the University of Sheffield on Thursday 30th of June 2016.

We have always aimed to be a centre of world class teaching and research. We also aspire to be a place where all staff, whatever their role in the School, feel valued, respected, and supported. Through the actions and initiatives that we have started to implement, we hope to make this a department where women and men can thrive as equals, be they students, professional staff, teachers, or researchers.
