Elevate exists to provide a formal networking platform for all staff and PGR students at King’s. The Network aims to address and challenge issues of gender inequality at King’s, providing an integral platform for staff and PGR students to share their experiences and by informing KCL policy and strategy.

Elevate looks to empower staff and PGR students to reach their potential through events, mentoring and training. The Network will act as a community who provide support both personally and professionally to one another.

This Network is inclusive to all individuals and specifically addresses the challenges and barriers faced by those who identify as women and as non-binary; staff can join in this capacity, or as an ally.

Our guiding principles are:

• Equality
• Community
• Empowerment
• Support
• Inclusivity

The voices we wish to amplify: 

• All staff and PGR students who identify as women
• All staff and PGR students who identify as non-binary

We welcome all staff members and all PGR students at King’s. We particularly value the contributions of those listed above, but we also welcome allies who play a key role in supporting and promoting our network’s values and goals.

To achieve Elevate’s vision, here are our goals for the next two years:

• Review and develop our communication strategy
• Grow our network’s membership
• Provide networking opportunities
• Organise mentoring activities
• Share inspiring content, e.g. “A Conversation With” series
• Promote useful resources
