We are delighted to announce a new event ‘Empowering Women in Organic Chemistry’ (EWOC Europe) which will take place at AstraZeneca’s Macclesfield site on Thursday 11th June 2020. This is a ‘not-for-profit’ event but due to attendee number restrictions, we will be charging a nominal fee (£75 industry / £20* academia) to cover catering costs and materials – this fee will be returned to any academic* who pays and attends the event in full.
The meeting is aimed primarily at women organic chemists from both academia and industry, but we welcome and encourage men who play a supporting role in women’s career development to attend.
The programme consists of 5 plenary speakers giving technical presentations from both academia and industry, an open session where we are inviting applications to give a 15 minute presentation (details below), Breakout sessions on a variety of topics we feel are important to women and a poster competition, where we invite presentations from female PhD students. You can see the Draft programme here: Programme and Breakout Session Schedule
