IUPAC invites scientists and students around the world to join in the 3rd Global Women’s Breakfast (#GWB2021) . Organizations of all types, e.g., universities, companies, national chemistry societies, government laboratories, and other scientific organizations, as well as individual groups of chemists, are invited to participate.
The Global Women’s Breakfast is expected to assist women chemists in expanding their network of contacts, perhaps leading to new career opportunities for research, employment, or education. The 1st IUPAC Global Women's Breakfast was held in February 2019, the 2nd in 2020.
