The University of Leeds has been commended for its work to support the career development of talented women working in the traditionally male dominated fields of Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) in the form of a prestigious bronze award under the Athena SWAN Charter for Women in Science.

Information on the national Athena SWAN Charter can be found at: http://www.athenaswan.org.uk/html/athena-swan/

Details of the University’s award submission, which includes our action plan for making further improvements, can be found at: http://www.equality.leeds.ac.uk/for-staff/good-practice-guidance/athena-swan/

These web pages aim to pull together information on the range of support available to women in SET, both within the University and externally.  If you have any ideas for items that could usefully be included, or any other comments on the site, please let us know by e-mailing equality@leeds.ac.uk

For further information on anything on these pages contact the University’s Athena SWAN co-ordinator, Kathy Aveyard, on k.a.aveyard@adm.leeds.ac.uk
