Athena Swan Award
IGH has successfully renewed their Silver Athena Swan award in 2023. The Athena SWAN Charter covers women, trans and non-binary people, and men where appropriate who are in academic and professional staff roles in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, maths, medicine) and AHSSBL (arts, humanities, social sciences, business, law). The charter covers these staff groups in relation to representation, progression of students into academia, journey through career milestones and working environment for all staff.
The panel found the application "demonstrates a clear commitment to gender equality and intersectionality within the IGH; across teach and research, as well as in the experiences of its staff and students."
The IGH EDI executive group reports regularly to the IGH Senior Management Team, and liaises with, but is independent of, the central UCL EDI group.
