The school is passionate about promoting equality and recognizes the need to ensure equal opportunities for our staff and students as well as in the wider sport, health and exercise science field. The award is also fantastic recognition for our early career researchers who have driven many recent innovative equality and diversity initiatives in our School.鈥
Professor Iwan Davies, Vice-Chancellor, said:
I would like to congratulate the School of Natural Sciences, the School of Health Sciences, and the School of Sports, Health and Exercise Sciences on their successful applications. I am delighted that three more Schools have been awarded Bronze Athena Swan awards in recognition of our work towards gender equality at Bangor.

The Athena Swan charter was established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) in higher education. The charter was expanded in 2015 to include all academic departments and professional services staff. Athena Swan recognises work undertaken to address gender equality more broadly and the awards recognise commitment to gender equality and diversity, excellent working practices, and an inclusive culture for staff and students at all levels.
