Athena Swan Institutional Award Renewal

Published: 13 May, 2025

Athena Swan Institutional Award Renewal

TU currently holds an institutional Athena Swan Bronze Award. The award is valid until until the end of 2025. We have now begun the work of renewing the award. The University has established the Athena Swan Self-Assessment Team (SAT) to oversee this process.

What is the Athena Swan Self-Assessment Team?

The Self-Assessment Team (SAT) is responsible for conducting a comprehensive self-assessment of gender and intersecting equality matters at TU Dublin. This team will lead the development of the University's Athena Swan Bronze Renewal application and action plan, which will be submitted by the end of 2025.
