What is Athena SWAN?

Athena SWAN is a national scheme that recognises commitment to advancing women's careers in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, math, medicine and dentistry) in higher education and research. To address gender inequalities requires commitment and action from everyone, at all levels of the organisation.
