Edith Cowan Athena SWAN Advancement Scheme

The Edith Cowan Athena SWAN Advancement Scheme celebrates the gender diversity of our staff talent at ECU, supporting career progression in the spirit of the Athena SWAN Charter in Australia. The Athena SWAN Charter in Australia is hosted by the Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE), an initiative of the Australian Academy of Science in partnership with the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering. ECU was proud to be part of the first tranche of the Pilot and received the Bronze Level Institutional Award on 5 December 2018.
