Transforming the Athena Swan Charter.

The Athena Swan Charter is a targeted, self-assessment framework established in 2005 to help higher education institutes achieve their gender equality objectives and to support inclusive working practices and an equitable working environment. This presentation will consider its impact to date, its expansion to non-STEMM disciplines and the transformation of the Charter following an independent review, which resulted in its re-launch in July 2021. It will touch on the challenges associated with broadening the remit to gender as a spectrum, considering intersectionality and being inclusive to profession, technical and operational staff as well as academics.
