The CI Athena SWAN committee is delighted to announce that our recent application for an Athena SWAN Silver Award has been successful. Our renewed Silver Award status runs until April 2023.
Advance HE’s Athena SWAN Charter was established in 2005 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.
In May 2015 the charter was expanded to recognise work undertaken in arts, humanities, social sciences, business and law (AHSSBL), and in professional and support roles, and for trans staff and students. The charter now recognises work undertaken to address gender equality more broadly, and not just barriers to progression that affect women.
The award recognises the Cancer Institute's commitment to gender equality and diversity, excellent working practices, and the inclusive culture we promote for staff and students at all levels. Importantly, it also recognises the positive impact the activities we have implemented have had on supporting, encouraging and developing the careers all members of our Institute.
Athena SWAN
