Athena SWAN

Athena SWAN is a framework aimed at promoting gender equality in higher education and research institutions. Launched in the UK, it recognizes and celebrates commitment to advancing the careers of women in these fields. Institutions apply for various awards based on their policies, practices, and progress in addressing gender disparities. The initiative encourages organizations to create inclusive environments, improve representation of women, and support their development at all levels. By participating in Athena SWAN, institutions demonstrate their commitment to equality and inclusivity in academia.
