Where these ideas come from

This hub is curated by the network rather than crowd-sourced. We draw the ideas here from members’ Athena Swan applications and action plans — including those of Queen’s University Belfast, University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin and the University of Limerick — the activities that institutions themselves report as working, and write them up in a shareable form. Where an idea is labelled sector-leading or beacon, that is how the institution itself identified it in its Athena Swan application. If your school has an approach you’d like reflected here, or you spot something we should update, just get in touch and we’ll add it.
