Athena SWAN Silver and Gold Awards
Universities must achieve a Bronze award before individual Schools/Institutes can apply for recognition at Silver level in their own right. The logic behind this is that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for a School/Institute to sustain the level of a Silver award without university support and underpinning university good practice policies and processes
At silver and gold levels, a substantial number of Schools/Institutes must hold individual awards before the university applies for an institutional award at that level.
More information on the conditions of membership and awards can be found on the Athena SWAN website. If a School/Institute is considering a submission for a Silver Award in 2010 (deadline May 31st), please contact julie.bullimore@ncl.ac.uk
The Self Assessment team will be able to support you with your application.
