Working with Equality Organisations

We are affiliated with, or members of, or have subscriptions with a number of equality organisations and networks. These relationships enable the University to benchmark, to obtain specialist advice, and to keep up to date with equality initiatives and developments in the higher education sector and beyond.

Our current relationships with equality organisations include:

• Athena Swan
  Athena Swan is the charter that recognises commitment to advancing women’s careers in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine. We joined the charter in 2011 and achieved an Institutional Bronze Award in 2013, 2016 and 2021.
• Equality Commission for Northern Ireland
  We work closely with the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland in developing our Equality Scheme and reporting annually on our performance and progress.
