Held in conjunction with the U.N. Day of Women and Girls in Science, the goal of the GWB is to establish an active network of people -men and women- to overcome the barriers to gender equity in science.

In 2025, IUPAC will be participating in the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology celebration. Our theme for #GWB2025 is “Accelerating Equity in Science”. Groups from all types of science organizations from high schools, to science societies, universities, companies, governments, and non-governmental organizations are invited to participate. Event leaders are encouraged to collaborate with organizations in different sectors and to include scientists from multiple disciplines.
