The Athena Swan Charter
The Royal Academy of
Engineering is a partner in the Athena SWAN Charter:
a scheme which recognises excellence in Science,
Engineering and Technology (SET) employment in
higher education. The Charter was launched in June
2005. Any university or research institution which
is committed to the advancement and promotion of the
careers of women in SET in higher education and
research can apply for membership.
The beliefs
underpinning the Charter are:
-
The advancement of
science, engineering and technology (SET) is
fundamental to quality of life across the globe.
-
It
is vitally important that women are adequately
represented in what has traditionally been, and is
still, a male-dominated area.
-
Science cannot reach
its full potential unless it can benefit from the
talents of the whole population, and until women and
men can benefit equally from the opportunities it
affords.
