The programme will support researchers:

• To build their confidence and assertiveness 
• To have a greater sense of direction
• To take clear practical realistic steps to take more control over their life
• To find out what they value
• To make decisions and take action based on their values
• To balance their lives better and achieve their academic/ professional potential
• To create a supportive network of women researchers within the University

Advantages of a women-only development programme

• Women researchers will have many issues in common
•  They will get a huge boost by discovering they are ‘not the only one’
•  Makes it easier to talk about issues
•  Other programmes may not address specific issues for women
•  Supports the gender equality legislation
