Extension of UK Athena SWAN award validity to five years

Part of Advance HE's response to the Recommendations from the Independent Review of Athena SWAN

The Independent Steering Group recommended that the duration of Athena SWAN awards be extended to five years. As part of Advance HE’s transformation plan, we recognise that this is a recommendation that can be enacted in the short-term in the UK. We have developed a light-touch process to enable this, whilst ensuring that award holders remain committed to progressing gender equality.

The following downloadable tables outline our approach and the actions requested of current and prospective award holders.
