The fifth annual Athena SWAN Awareness Day takes place on Thursday 14 April from 12.00-15.30 in the Grimond Building, Canterbury campus.

The programme will be available soon, but the Athena SWAN Working group are pleased to announce that the keynote speaker will be Professor Averil MacDonald, Diversity Lead and Impact Lead for SEPnet (South East Physics Network).

The annual Athena SWAN Awareness Days raise the profile of the Athena SWAN initiative at Kent and enable attendees to debate, and gain an insight into, employment practices, career progression and work/life balance.

Over the past four years, the University has welcomed a variety of high profile female speakers who have spoken candidly about their own experiences and careers. The event has grown in popularity and the last Canterbury Awareness Day, in September 2014, was attended by women and men from across the Science Faculty. An Awareness Day was also held at the Medway Campus for the first time in April 2014.

To register for the latest Awareness Day on 14 April 2016, complete the form on the Athena SWAN webpages.
