The ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø of Chemistry Inclusion and Diversity team will be hosting an event for the 2026 IUPAC Global Women’s Breakfast (GWB 2026).
Held in conjunction with the U.N. Day of Women and Girls in Science, the goal of the GWB series is to establish an active network of people of all genders to overcome the barriers to gender equality in science. Over the last seven years, nearly 2500 GWB events have been held in 100 countries.
This year's GWB theme is "Many Voices, One Science" that highlights IUPAC's newly released guiding principles in responsible chemistry; which are as follows:-
- Responsible Innovation
- Safety, Security & Sustainability
- Ethical Behaviour
- Inclusivity, Equity & Belonging
- Communication & Collaboration
- Equitable Access
- Integrity & Accuracy
- Convergence Across Disciplines
We invite you to join us at the ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø, Burlington House, to hear from our distinguished speakers. As recipients of the 2025 ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø Inclusion & Diversity Prize, they have pioneered innovative projects to advance equity in the scientific community. During the event, they will share their experiences and insights on strategic and operational inclusion within the UK Higher Education system, followed by networking opportunities with the speakers and fellow attendees.
