Athena SWAN
Athena SWAN started with the Athena Project and the Scientific Women’s Academic Network (SWAN), advancing representation of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) in higher education. It was expanded to include arts, humanities, social sciences, business and law (AHSSBL) and now also covers professional services staff and transgender staff and students.
