As part of the Women in Aviation & Aerospace Charter’s Meet the Signatories series, members of the Charter explain why they joined the Charter, and what steps they have since taken to ensure the inclusion of women in the sectors.
Next in the series, we talk to Cranfield University:
Please name your organisation and explain what it does in the aviation or aerospace industry
Cranfield University. We are the UK’s top destination for aerospace engineering postgraduate students and the largest provider of accredited aerospace degree courses. Through the strong links with industry we have built over the past 70 years, we focus on defining and delivering the aircraft, airport and airspace management of the future.
Why did you join the Women in Aviation & Aerospace Charter?
Professor Sir Peter Gregson, Chief Executive and Vice-Chancellor, Cranfield University, said: “Cranfield has got a proud history in aerospace and an exciting future, leading developments in the global aviation industry. As a university with an Athena Swan Bronze Award, we have made diversity a priority for the organisation. Organisations that embrace diversity thrive and we wholeheartedly support and embrace this charter.”
