Women in Supramolecular Chemistry

Our partners at WISC are dedicated to supporting women within the broader field of supramolecular chemistry. The opportunities they will provide us will be posted here soon.

Taken from their terms of reference, the aims and objectives of WISC are;

“We aim to work with the community for the community in order to:

• Promote the retention and progression of women and other marginalised groups in
  supramolecular chemistry, with a focus on post-graduate levels and above
• Promote the interests of women and other marginalised groups in supramolecular
  chemistry
• Organise and deliver accessible events to the community and its allies
• Base our decision making on what we have learnt from the community, through
  engagement, surveys and other research
• Support and undertake relevant research projects, contribute to policies and guidance for staff, managers, higher education institutions (HEIs), further education institutions (FEIs), funders and Government agencies
• Undertake original, ethically approved research in support of the national and international community
• Publish our findings in order to raise awareness of the experiences of and challenges
  faced by women and other marginalised groups in supramolecular chemistry
