Durham's Physics department rewarded for improving gender equality Durham University's Department of Physics has won a national award for improving gender equality across its staff and students. The department has been awarded Juno Practitioner status by the Institute of Physics (IOP). Durham's Physics department joined Project Juno to show its commitment to addressing the long-standing issue of there being too few women at the highest levels of physics academia in the UK. To achieve the new status, the department demonstrated progression against a range of Juno principles set up to improve the working culture such as introducing more flexible working arrangements, offering provision for childcare and allowing for a more transparent organisational structure.
