Academic and Research Staff Gender 2013
Attracting and retaining women in science and research careers is an
international problem. UCD is committed to developing a gender action
plan in 2014–2016 for women in science and research.
In 2014 the HEA provided funding to extend the Athena Swan Charter
programme into Ireland from the UK. UCD appointed a dedicated gender
action programme manager in June 2014 to support University College
Dublin’s participation and develop a plan for women in science and
research in UCD.
A diversity of perspectives through the participation of female researchers
will enrich our approach to creating knowledge and solving societal
problems.

Academic Staff: Core and Contract (FTE)
The total number of academic staff at UCD
has decreased by 9% from 2004- 2013.
Academic staff reached a peak of 1,813 full
time equivalents in 2008 and by 2013 had
declined by 24%. Some of this reduction is
due to a reclassification of staff type from
academic to non-academic, but is also the
result of a significant reduction in academic
staff.
