On 8 March, we celebrated International Women\u2019s day, which once more spotlighted the continuing gender inequality within society, but also within the scientific arena more specifically. Data indeed shows that whilst some progress has been made in reducing discrimination and encouraging equal opportunities for women, progress remains too slow and unequal across countries.<\/p>\n
EuChemS broached the subject in a workshop organised on 7 March in the European Parliament on education, employability and EU research funding. The event was hosted by Member of the European Parliament van Nistelrooij, and featured a panel of speakers representing European institutions, academia and industry.
