Context

The HEA's national review examined the gender balance of academic and non-academic staff across all employment grades, as well as institutions' management teams, academic councils and governing boards, in Irish higher education institutions.

Objectives

Adopting a 'quality enhancement' approach, the review aimed to build on the sector's progress to date and on international best practice to shape future policy, defining what gender equality in Irish higher education would look like: the most talented women and men employed at all levels and in all roles; gender-balanced representation on governance and management structures; gender balance among institutional presidents; no perceived gender inequality among staff; and Irish HEIs successfully achieving and retaining gold Athena SWAN awards.
