👩‍🔬 🧪What becomes possible when women in chemistry connect, collaborate, and lead?

At the OPCW’s annual #WomeninChemistry Symposium, talented female experts from across government, industry, and academia come together to share knowledge, build networks, and highlight the vital contributions of women advancing the peaceful uses of chemistry.

With women comprising just 30% of researchers globally—and even fewer in chemistry-related fields—this year’s discussions focused on practical actions to strengthen gender equity, expand opportunities, and inspire the next generation of women leaders in science.
