The London Mathematical Society strongly supports advancing women's careers in university mathematics departments. The Society's Women in Mathematics Committee has developed a Good Practice Scheme with the aim of supporting mathematics departments to embed equal opportunities for women within their working practices.
The Scheme provides specific support for departments working towards Athena SWAN Award status. Further information can be found in the Good Practice Scheme Booklet below.
The GPS Steering Group has published benchmarking information for UK mathematics departments as below. Further help and support for departments can be found by following the 'Support for Departments' link on the left hand menu.
New: National Benchmarking Survey
The LMS Women in Mathematics Committee and Good Practice Scheme Steering Group are pleased to present the final report from the Benchmarking Survey commissioned from Ortus Economic Research. The goal of the report was to understand the current status of women in UK mathematics departments, as well as to understand the experience that departments have had with the Athena Swan process.
