Gender equality has come a long way but there is still so much more that can be done.
EDI work focusing on gender equality across all areas of engineering has seen an imbalance historically. Even though progress has been made, we听acknowledge听there is so much more that can be done. Our common goal, to commit to an intersectional approach.
We want all staff and students to feel safe in their work environment and place of study, without fear of discrimination or subject to sexual harassment.听
We have outlined numerous networks, groups, support, and resources below to help you navigate all the information UCL has to offer.

Athena Swan听
EEE holds the Bronze Athena SWAN award until April 2023.听Our application, submitted by April 2019, mainly focused on gender aspects, but now we are working to extend our actions to other protected characteristics as much as possible.
We have been working on an action plan built around two big aspects: continuous self-assessment and positive actions to improve equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace.
On self-assessment, we are constantly monitoring the composition and attainment of our student and staff body, to detect any aspects that might be hindering the progress of some. This self-assessment process also guides the actions we might take
On positive actions, we are focusing on fair recruitment processes, promotion information better available for all and increasing the participation of staff on training related to bad practices that work against our equality, diversity and inclusion commitments.
We still have a long way to go, but we are making steady progress and we are confident that our work is making EEE a better workplace for all.听
In October 2023 we requested a one-year extension to our current Bronze Award. You can read about about what we intended to do in our extended action plan:
