Athena SWAN
After a two year, whole of University effort, UTS has submitted its application for an Athena SWAN Bronze Award in March 2018. Results of this application will be made public in December 2018.
Participating in the Athena SWAN process has enabled UTS to build upon our ongoing work to further promote gender equity for inclusive teaching and learning culture. As part of a cohort of 40 Universities and research institutions, we’re pleased to be part of a whole of sector pilot to improve gender equity and diversity in STEMM research, teaching and workforce culture.
