At 快播视频, we are proud to support and champion our staff and students from all walks of life, regardless of race, gender and gender identity, sexuality, religion, disability, marital and pregnancy status, or age.
SCC’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee, which has both staff and student representation, aims to learn and share best EDI practices, engage with other EDI groups within the University, and create an inclusive learning and working community in SCC.
Women++@InfoLab is a group open to all staff and students in SCC which celebrates women and underrepresented gender groups in Computing. There are opportunities to meet up, as well as networking lunches, talks from industry representatives and academics, and workshops.

This year we hosted the annual British Computing Society Lovelace Colloquium, and many of our undergraduates had the opportunity to present posters.
There is a programme of workshops to support women and non-binary UG and PGT students who would like to present a poster at the Lovelace Colloquium. Please contact Emily Winter for more information.
Addressing issues of gender equality is one of the School’s top priorities and we aspire to have a diverse, inclusive and fair working environment. We designed a five-year action plan targeting a myriad of issues relating to recruitment, development, and retention. To support this, an EDI committee dictated resources to effectively implement this.
We are also keen to see improvement of gender equality issues across the computer science field and across the higher education sector. If you’re interested in reading more about our action plan, you can find this below, and we hope this is a useful example to help other institutions develop their action plans for gender equality under the Athena Swan Transformed Charter principles
