HistoryThe Athena SWAN charter was established in 2005 and the first awards were conferred in 2006. The initial charter set out to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) institutions of higher education and research.[2] In 2011, the UK Chief Medical Officer made it a requirement for academic departments applying for funding from the English National Institution of Health Research to hold the Athena SWAN silver award[3]. In May 2015 the charter was expanded to include non-STEM departments including arts, humanities, social sciences, business, and law. Additionally, it expanded to cover additional communities including professional and support staff, technical staff, as well as trans staff and students. The first awards to non-STEM university departments were announced in April 2016.[4] The new charter recognises work undertaken to address gender equality more broadly, and not just barriers to progression that affect women.[5] Award detailsMembers who sign up to the charter are expected to apply for an Athena SWAN award,[5] at Bronze, Silver or Gold level. Each award is valid for four years under the post-2015 rules (three years where pre-2015 rules apply). They commit to adopting ten principles,[6] which focus on promoting and supporting gender equality for women. In particular, the charter aims to address what is known as the “leaky pipeline” of women progressing to senior roles in science by removing obstacles to their advancement, ensuring equal pay and mainstreaming support, through action at all levels across the department or organisation. ReceptionAn exploratory study of women's and men's perceptions of Athena SWAN was broadly positive and highlighted the significance of government funding being linked to SWAN awards, but it also highlighted the limitations of whether the process can change longstanding and entrenched issues in society.[7] References1. ^{{cite web | title = Home page |url=http://www.ecu.ac.uk/ |website=ecu.ac.uk |date=|publisher=Equality Challenge Unit |accessdate=14 October 2015}} 2. ^{{cite news | last = Solomon | first = Tom | title = How to create a better future for women in science | url = https://www.theguardian.com/women-in-leadership/2014/nov/26/women-in-science-athena-swan-charter | work = The Guardian | date = 26 November 2014 | access-date = 20 August 2016}} 3. ^{{Cite journal|last=Donald|first=Athene|last2=Harvey|first2=Paul H.|last3=McLean|first3=Angela R.|date=2011-10-05|title=Athena SWAN awards: Bridging the gender gap in UK science|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/478036b|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=478|pages=36|doi=10.1038/478036b|issn=1476-4687}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/first-non-stem-athena-swan-winners-named|title=First non-STEM Athena SWAN winners named|last=Grove|first=Jack|date=28 April 2016|work=Times Higher Education|access-date=20 August 2016}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.ecu.ac.uk/equality-charters/athena-swan/|title=Athena SWAN Charter|date=|website=ecu.ac.uk|publisher=Equality Challenge Unit|accessdate=14 October 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web | title = About ECU’s Athena SWAN Charter |url= http://www.ecu.ac.uk/equality-charters/athena-swan/about-athena-swan/ |website=ecu.ac.uk |date=|publisher=Equality Challenge Unit |accessdate=11 October 2016}} 7. ^{{cite journal | last1 = Ovseiko | first1 = Pavel V. | last2 = Chapple | first2 = Alison | last3 = Edmunds | first3 = Laurel D. | last4 = Ziebland | first4 = Sue | title = Advancing gender equality through the Athena SWAN Charter for Women in Science: an exploratory study of women's and men's perceptions | journal = Health Research Policy and Systems | volume = 15 | page = 12 | publisher = BMC | doi = 10.1186/s12961-017-0177-9 | date = 21 February 2017 | url = https://doi.org/10.1186/s12961-017-0177-9 | ref = harv | postscript = .}} External links{{Official website}}{{Authority control}}{{feminism-stub}} 3 : Gender equality|Women in science and technology|Accreditation |
