The UL Workload Allocation Model (WAM) aims to provide a fair and transparent approach for the allocation and distribution of workload for all academic staff at UL. The WAM system is a sustainable academic workload allocation tool, based on the WAM framework allocating workload to teaching (40%), research (40%) and service activities (20%), helping to achieve a work-life balance and reconcile teaching, research, and service activities.
The WAM project at UL aligns with the University's strategic objectives to implement and support equality, diversity, and inclusion, which underpin the institutional Athena SWAN accreditation, the Gender Equality Action Plan and the University's Equality and Human Rights Strategy.
