The University of Sheffield has become the 38th member of the Athena SWAN Charter

We are pleased to announce that we have become a member of the Athena SWAN Charter.

The Charter recognises and celebrates good employment practice for women working in science, engineering and technology (SET) in higher education and research. Members must be committed to the advancement of the careers of women in SET in higher education and research.

The University is currently working towards an Athena SWAN recognition award which highlights good practice and details future action.
