We are dedicated to the University’s ethos of supporting and advancing equality and diversity in all areas.
The Athena SWAN charter recognises the advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all.
We have an active Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee with representation drawn from our undergraduate and postgraduate students, our technical and support staff, our early career researchers, including postdoctoral research associates, research fellowship holders, early and mid-career academic staff and the Head of School.
Committee members offer a range of STEMM working experiences and are collectively tasked with the delivery of the School's Athena SWAN Bronze award action plan. The team meet once per term to review key data sets and make recommendations to key departmental committees, in addition to contributing to the University Athena SWAN Committee.
The School of Engineering Athena Swan action plan sets out our 4 priority areas:
Manufacturing
Cockcroft Institute, RF Engineering of Accelerators at Lancaster (REAL), Security Lancaster, Security Lancaster (Networks)
Chemical Engineering Research Group
Structures and Materials
