Athena SWAN (Scientific Women’s Academic Network) is a charter established and managed by the British Equality Challenge Unit in 2005 that recognises and celebrates good practice towards the advancement of gender equality: representation, progression, and success for all. Information about Athena SWAN can be found [**here**](https://www.ecu.ac.uk/equality-charters/athena-swan/).

As part of the Athena SWAN programme, Universities and Departments/Schools can apply for recognition for efforts towards ensuring gender equality practices.
