VIRTUAL EVENT: Chemistry for All
Are chemistry and science accessible for all? If not, what can we do about it?
VIRTUAL EVENT: Chemistry for All
11 Nov 2020, 10:00 – 17:00
This online event from the Royal Society of Chemistry will show findings from the research project 'Chemistry for All'.
The project, which draws on evidence from five years of outreach to widen participation, shows how outreach can help to overcome barriers to progression in chemistry.
The event will highlight evidence relevant to researchers, outreach providers, schools, teachers and policymakers. The speakers will discuss how to increase students’ aspirations towards study of chemistry and related careers.
