Developments

The Athena SWAN charter and principles are being embedded across NUI Galway.

The College of Engineering and Informatics was the first school in NUI Galway to apply for departmental accreditation in April 2017. The School of Medicine applied for and achieved departmental accreditation in April 2018, becoming the first School of Medicine to achieve the Athena SWAN Bronze award across the 7 Irish universities. NUI Galway now has 4 departmental Bronze awards: School of Medicine, School of Physics, the Cairnes School of Business and Economics, and the School of Nursing and Midwifery. 

If your School is interested in starting the Athena SWAN process, visit the Athena SWAN Resources page to learn more.
