The results from the last Athena SWAN submission round (May 2019) have been announced and we are delighted to announce that two Schools were successful in securing Athena SWAN Bronze.
Congratulations to the School of Biosciences for successfully renewing their existing Bronze award, and to Kent Law School for securing their first Bronze award!
We had five Schools submitting their applications in May; unfortunately the Schools of Anthropology and Conservation, Arts, and Physical Sciences were not successful this time around. We will support them with their re-submissions in the near future. Achieving an award is challenging; the overall success rate for Bronze is 57%. Unsuccessful applications tend to be the result of a failure to meet certain criteria within the submission itself, rather than a reflection of either the culture or commitment of the submitting department.

These results bring the total number of Schools holding an Athena SWAN award to 10.
Congratulations again to Biosciences and KLS and good luck to SAC, Arts and SPS!
