Women in STEMM

Griffith is proud of our Remarkable Women in STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine). We acknowledge the specific equity issues that women face in STEMM fields and are committed to addressing these issues.

In December 2018, we were recognised for our commitment to addressing gender inequality in STEMM, by being among the first Australian institutions to receive an Athena SWAN Bronze Institutional Award.

Sustainable Development Goals

Griffith University is aligned with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is committed to promoting gender equity and providing equal opportunities for all individuals by fostering an inclusive environment that respects and values diversity.

Athena SWAN at Griffith

As an Athena SWAN Bronze Award winner, we have rigorously examined our gender equity data in STEMM fields and identified key areas for improvement and action. This analysis has led to a commitment from staff and senior leadership to an ambitious action plan that seeks to eliminate gender bias and to further develop an inclusive staff culture.
