Calendar

Official IUPAC welcome!

Followed by the in-person event at the Emeryville Public Market, 6:30 to 8:00 pm.

Register HERE for the in-person event.

The goal of the Global Women’s Breakfast series is to establish an active network of people of all genders to overcome the barriers to gender equality in science. Over the last five years, more than 1500 GWB events have been held in 100 countries.

The California Local Section of ACS (Cal ACS) invites all students and professionals to join our annual “Cal ACS Partners Networking Event” as part of the global IUPAC GWB 2025 on February 11, 2025. Feedback from prior years indicates that this is a wonderful event to promote personal and professional networking.

Please circle the date on your calendar because February 11 also celebrates the “International Day of Women and Girls in Science”. The theme this year for GWB2025 is “Accelerating Equity in Science.”

This is a global event organized by IUPAC that was initiated during the International Year of Chemistry (IYC) when chemistry was celebrated in 2011. That year, roughly 100 breakfasts were organized involving almost 5,000 scientists (both men and women) from academia, industry, and government around the world.

Please email Marinda Wu with any questions. We hope you will join us for GWB 2025. If you are local, we would love to meet you in person as well as on Zoom.
