Pictured above, Athena Swan Self-Assessment Team (not all members present)

The School of Medicine is working to submit our first Bronze Athena Swan Application in November 2023. Per the usual process, a Self-Assessment Team (SAT) has been established and has been working since the latter half of 2022 to prepare.  

The SAT Chair, Professor Mark McEntee, and Deputy Chair, Professor Aideen Sullivan, have taken on the responsibility of leading this effort with the support of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Unit who provide subject matter expertise and data analysis. UCC Academy is providing Project Management and Creative Services support to enable an effective application process. 

Our thanks to all staff members and students who have agreed to represent their departments and programmes on the SAT, to ensure a diverse and widespread representation of our School. Our thanks also to our colleagues in UCC and other universities in Ireland and the UK who have lent their time to sharing their experiences with our SAT in the pursuit of a successful application.
