The aim of Project Juno was to recognise and reward departments and schools of physics, institutes and organisations that demonstrated they have taken action to address gender equality in physics and encouraged better practice for all staff. AOP have Juno Practitioner status until 2026. AOP’s Juno Action Plan is available at Juno Action Plan
AOP are now a signatory to the IOP’s new Physics Inclusion Award. This has been developed in partnership with the physics community, supports university physics departments to be welcoming and inclusive to all. To gain the award, departments work towards criteria that has been categorised into four overall themes, with associated strands within each theme.
- Welcoming and inclusive framework – An organisational framework with clear governance structure and accountability for EDI.
- Inclusive culture – Promoting a culture that is open, inclusive and transparent through networks, training, retention and guidance.
- Inclusive leadership – Evidence of inclusive leadership and senior management commitment to EDI.
- Policies and processes – Awareness and implementation of policies and processes at departmental and university level.
