The programme takes as a starting point the urgent and challenging imperative to recruit, support and retain black (African, Coloured and Indian) and female academic staff to address their serious underrepresentation at all levels in the sector. It will be a key vehicle to contribute to the transformation of the academic staff profile in disciplinary areas of greatest need.
