Dear female colleagues,
I brought this survey to your attention last week and it is due to close on Tuesday 10th July – we are close to 1000 responses so far – it would be great to increase that number – exponentially. We need to hear your voice!!
AdvanceHE has commissioned a team from Robert Gordon University to undertake an important project investigating Higher Education Institutions’ mechanisms for support of current and aspiring women leaders in the sector across both academic
and professional support roles. This will cover two perspectives i.e. that of the institutions and that of female employees. The project is designed to benefit the higher education sector in the UK through the generation of data and findings that can inform
policy and highlight best practice regarding supporting women to move into and then progress through leadership roles.
We are keen to encourage women who work in all functions in higher education to be involved in the project by completing this survey. This includes those in academic and professional services posts, in pre- and post-1992 universities, and
in STEM and non-STEM disciplines. More information about the project, with a link to the online survey, can be found here:

The survey takes about 10-15 minutes to complete but your response will help to inform the sector’s approach to current and aspiring women in leadership – please help us to help you in the future. As colleagues involved in UK HEIs your
opinion will be very valuable. Please also circulate within your Universities, mailing lists to anyone who might be interested.
This is a short 3 month project and as a result we would need your responses by the 10 July at the latest.
Thank you for any help you can give us.
