We are proud to announce that the QUB School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, from where a significant number of our RIED Team members come from, has been awarded Advance HE Athena Swan Gold, making it one of only three UK engineering Schools to hold Gold, and the only Engineering School on the island of Ireland with this recognition. This award reflects the commitment, dedication and hard work of our entire community over many years. It is a collective achievement that highlights our ambition to create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can thrive.

Professor Trevor Robinson, Head of School:
