Professor Stephen Scott, the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physical Sciences, is the institutional and academic lead for Athena SWAN at the University of Leeds. Steve is joined by Maria Pervaiz, Equality and Inclusion Manager and Zarina Sutton, Athena SWAN Support Officer from the Equality Policy Unit, who work with faculties and human resources, advising them about Athena SWAN submission requirements and helping them to further embed its principles across the University.
The University of Leeds has been commended for its work to support the career development of talented women working in the traditionally male dominated fields of Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) in the form of a prestigious bronze award under the Athena SWAN Charter for Women in Science.
