Athena SWAN
The Athena SWAN Charter is a scheme which recognises excellence in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) employment in higher education. The Charter was launched in June 2005 at the Institute of Physics. 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.
Self-Assessment Team and University Submission
A self-assessment team consisting of representatives from a number of departments at different stages of their careers was formed to oversee the submission of the bronze award application. The team continues to meet to ensure that the action plan is successfully implemented

WISE helps organisations to inspire women and girls to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as pathways to exciting and fulfilling careers.
Mothers in Science - 64 ways to have it all
The aim of this information is to illustrate, graphically, that it is perfectly possible to combine a successful and fulfilling career in research science with motherhood, and that there are no rules about how to do this. On each page you will find a timeline showing on one side, the career path of a research group leader in academic science, and on the other side, important events in her family life. Each contributor has also provided a brief text about their research and about how they have combined their career and family commitments. This project was funded by a Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society.
European Mothers In Science this website is designed to be a focal point for parents working in science.
The Royal Society education, public and funding programmes have several strands that work together to address diversity issues.
The Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) is one of the world's leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community, with more than 150,000 members in 127 countries and offices in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
