Guides and Publications

The Guide has been designed to be used as a starting point for teaching and professionals in HE and FE institutions by providing ideas to support, attract and retain female staff and students in STEM disciplines.


The information in this guidance booklet is based on a research project funded by the National HE STEM Programme and undertaken by the UKRC South East Hub in 2010-11. The research included the development and implementation of one-day Gender Equality Training workshops attracting participants from over 25 higher and further education institutions from across the UK. The workshops developed for this project are built upon the experience of industry and education professionals and originated as part of collaboration between Sheffield Hallam University and the UKRC in 1999.
