To be a leading conference in supporting women in the field of Organic Chemistry that accepts and values diversity, understanding that our differences will enable us collectively to be more successful, advance science, and lead to a future where equal opportunity is available to people of all genders and our meeting is no longer required.

Empowering Women in Organic Chemistry (EWOC) was founded by a group of organic chemists and others who support women in science as an opportunity to recognize, identify and retain women in the field of organic chemistry, regardless of gender or any other protected characteristic.
