Seeking new members to join Imperial\u2019s Athena Swan SAT \u2013 an opportunity for you to help shape Imperial\u2019s gender equality work<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imperial\u2019s Athena Swan Self-Assessment Team (SAT) is responsible for discussing gender equality issues and keeping track of progress on our Action Plan. The SAT helps to represent the different areas and groups across the university and lived experiences. As a member, you would be expected to contribute to discussions and provide a \u2018voice\u2019 for the postdoc \/ fellow community and your department.<\/p>\n

Meetings of the SAT take place roughly every month for 90 minutes \u2013 usually on Teams. Though we will try to hold perhaps two meetings a year in-person, based on previous feedback from the SAT. We recognise the difficulties of scheduling and availability, and accept that SAT members may not be able to attend every meeting.<\/p>\n

Starting this spring \/ summer, the focus of the SAT will begin to switch to a full self-assessment process to prepare for Imperial\u2019s Athena application in July 2027. Joining the SAT is an opportunity to help influence Imperial\u2019s future gender equality work and action plan. We are planning to create additional sub groups for the SAT, to focus on particular areas (for example culture, career development, etc). We are still thinking about how best these will work, trying to take lessons from last submission and the current work of the Race Equality Charter SAT (submitting this year).<\/p>\n

Please contact Robert Bell should you be interested in joining the group<\/p>\n
