Athena Swan Peer Support Network
DCU has an internal Athena Swan Peer Support Network for staff leading and engaging with the Athena Swan process at the faculty, school or unit level.
The network aims to:
- Offer peer-to-peer support to self-assessment teams developing their Athena Swan applications;
- Give self-assessment teams ‘critical friends’ when preparing applications
- Support Athena Swan/EDI committees as they implement their action plans
- Share lessons learned and good practice examples throughout the university
- Ensure as much cohesion as possible between local gender/EDI action plans
The network meets every two months, or more frequently as needed.
Are you involved with Athena Swan at DCU? Join our Peer Support Network mailing list by contacting the EDI Unit (edi@dcu.ie).
