At the end of January the Athena Forum launched its Bookmark Project to support post-doctoral researchers, in particular women, in their career decision making.   Joining Athena in this simple and low-cost initiative, the first project partners are the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Universities of Cambridge and Loughborough.

The project's key message, promoted through 'bookmarks' adapted to the individual organisations taking part is 'As a post-Doc you are the future of UK engineering .... but are you in control of your future in engineering?'

The Athena Forum was set up to provide a strategic oversight of developments that seek to, or have proven to, advance the career progression and representation of women in science, technology, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) in UK higher education.  For more information visit the website: http://www.athenaforum.org.uk/, where a guide and design for the bookmark can be downloaded.
