WHEN: a disruptive force for good
On a mission to accelerate progress towards gender equity in the higher education sector, we propel women to achieve their ambitions and enable universities to achieve change.
What we do
If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got. WHEN it comes to gender equity in UK higher education, we aim to change this. We offer specific, proven and inclusive initiatives that deliver a step change in equity of opportunity across the sector.
