The charter was expanded in 2015 to include all academic departments and professional services staff. It was again expanded in 2021 and the Transformed Athena Swan Charter now supports greater inclusivity for people in all roles, of all gender identities, and those facing intersectional inequalities. It also empowers participants to make active commitments in line with their gender equality goals, as well as recognise and reward gender equality work.
