University of Nottingham, UK: Promoting women in science ≈ School of Physics and Astronomy receives accolade
04.09.2010 The University of Nottingham’s School of Physics and Astronomy has been highlighted for its work in promoting the career progression of female academics and researchers.
The School has been awarded a silver Athena SWAN Charter award, which rewards excellent practice in female career progression within science, engineering and technology (SET) departments. The Athena SWAN Charter, funded by the Equality Challenge Unit and the UK Research Council, aims to encourage institutions to recruit, retain and promote women in SET in higher education and research. The School starts at an early stage when it comes to promoting academic careers to women in its field, investing heavily in outreach programmes encouraging teenage girls to take science subjects at GCSE and A Level. Physics and Astronomy has also recruited more fellows to the University Anne McLaren Fellowship scheme than any other school. These Fellowships are targeted at excellent female postdoctoral researchers in science and engineering. Source: The University of Nottingham’s news website |
