Global Women’s Breakfast 2021
Global Women’s Breakfast 2021 is the 3rd edition of a successful IUPAC initiative aimed to build a network of both women and men working together to address the barriers and inequalities faced by women in science. The theme of 2021 edition is “Empowering Diversity in Science”. Organizations of all types, e.g., universities, companies, national chemistry societies and other scientific organizations, as well as individual groups of chemists, are invited to participate, organizing a breakfast event to be held on February 9th 2021, two days prior to the United Nations Day of Women and Girls in Science.
Breakfast events can be small or large, formal or casual, and connections with other events are encouraged. Women at different stages of their individual careers are encouraged to inform each other about their career progress, and together explore opportunities, in professional development and in research or teaching horizons. All useful information and ideas can be found on IUPAC website (https://iupac.org/gwb/). Organize a GWB, register on IUPAC website (https://iupac.org/gwb/registration/) and let the Italian Commission for IUPAC know about your event (This email address is being protected from spambots.
