Abstract

The Aurora programme is a leadership initiative for women in academic and professional roles and is designed to address the lack of women in senior positions within UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). In October 2013, 13 female staff from academic and professional roles at Keele joined the inaugural Aurora Women’s Leadership Programme run by the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education (LFHE). Here we describe some of the unique elements and key successes of the Aurora programme based on our collective experiences, reflections and informal group discussions.
