	Project Athena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The project spawned many technologies that are widely used today, such as the X Window System and Kerberos.
		Amongst the other technologies developed for Project Athena were the Xaw widget set, Zephyr Notification Service, the first Instant Messaging service, and the Hesiod name and directory service.
		The X Window System originated as a joint project of Project Athena and MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science, and was used by Athena.

		Athena adopted institutional strategies that increased rather than decreased resistance to its goals, leading some faculty not to join up and causing other faculty to be marginalized and isolated from their departments when they did participate.
		Athena's attempts to enforce its conception of appropriate boundaries led, in many instances, either to the exclusion of faculty or to artificial distinctions that were not followed through in practice.
		Athena should not try to confine itself to one component of the educational enterprise; artificial boundaries of this sort are destined to become permeable in practice, whatever the formal policies may be.

	ATHENA \| what is athena
		ATHENA is a Socrates Thematic Network Project in which 80 Women's and Gender Studies Programmes at universities, research institutes and documentation centres in Europe participate.
		ATHENA was created in 1996 by the Association of Institutions for Feminist Education and Research in Europe (AOIFE), and was selected as a Socrates Thematic Network Project in September 1998.
		ATHENA is based on the SIGMA European Subject Area Evaluation of Women's Studies conducted in 1994-95 by the European commission (DG XXII), coordinated by the Department of Women's Studies in the Arts, Utrecht University.

	MIT Project Mercury – A Wireless Project Athena and More
		MIT Project Mercury – Project Mercury is a proposed series of ongoing and escalating information technology and social systems experiments at MIT, deploying the latest ultra-dense, high bandwidth wireless networks, along with flocks of next-generation end-user interface devices, all while paying close attention to ongoing user experiences and interests.
		Project Athena, Part 2 – Project Mercury is analogous in many ways to Project Athena, a bold MIT campus-wide wired network workstation-class computing experiment, now beyond experimental phase and part of MIT Information Systems.
		Beyond Project Notebook – MIT is in the middle of deploying 802.11b wireless LANs at Sloan and throughout the Institute under the Project Notebook IS/CET initiative.

		Project Athena's mandate was to explore diverse uses of com-puting and to build the base of knowledge needed for a longer term strategic decision about how computers fit into the MIT curriculum.
		In January of 1988, Project Athena was granted a three-year extension to the original five-year program, and on June 30, 1991, Project Athena came to an end.
		It is quite possible for the workload of this project to be shared with other institutions undertaking similar initiatives, and effort should be placed on establishing these relationship early in the project to reap the highest degree of benefit from joint efforts.

	Athena SWAN
		The Athena Project believes that it is vitally important that women are adequately represented in what has traditionally been and is still a male-dominated area.
		To achieve a world in which science benefits from the contributions of all, the aims of the Athena Project are to advance and promote the careers of women in science, engineering and technology in higher education (HE) and research and to achieve a significant increase in the number of women recruited to top posts.
		The Royal Society Athena Awards in 2002 and 2003 recognised and celebrated the achievements of universities in the advancement of women in SET with a range of creative approaches and good practice in action (Athena Reports 18 to 25).
