Work in the School of Environmental Sciences

Working hard towards Gold


“We pride ourselves on an inclusive and supportive environment where our staff and students thrive. Our research environment was assessed to be 88% world leading in REF2021.”

Professor Ian Renfrew, Head of School.


The School of Environmental Sciences is proud to be recognised for our work to create a progressive and inclusive culture. In recognition of our work in this area the School obtained a Silver Award as part of ECU Athena SWAN Charter. We are never complacent and are now working towards Gold status.
Our Equality and Diversity team meets to analyse and reflect on cultural practices that affect equality at all levels within the School.
