This report contains evidence that barriers to retention and progression exist in the chemical sciences. The issues affect everyone, but they disproportionately affect women.
The vast majority (99%) of our survey respondents acknowledged the seriousness of the issues raised in this report. If we, as a community, do not act now, a simple statistical analysis of the higher education data tells us that we will never reach gender parity in the academic sector of chemical sciences.
Large or small, every action counts towards raising awareness and affecting a culture change that benefits everyone working with chemistry.
Further down this page you鈥檒l find a range of ready-made digital items to download and use on different platforms. We look forward to you joining the conversation.
