Athena SWAN
The Athena SWAN Charter recognises good practice in promoting gender equality in higher education
The University of Oxford was a founder member of the Athena Charter and has held an institutional award since 2006.
Going through the Athena SWAN application process gives universities and departments the space to reflect on, and celebrate, current organisational and cultural practices that promote gender equality. Athena SWAN also offers a valuable framework for introducing cultural changes that create a better working environment for both men and women.
