UK Catalysis Hub EDI Event: Catalysis in a diverse world – Watch now

 

On the 22nd of July 2021 the UK Catalysis Hub held a full day virtual EDI event around the topics of diversity in scientific research.

The conference was virtual due to the COVID situation in Europe and university travel bans.

Hear how people from diverse backgrounds have progressed their careers in catalysis. Speakers covered a mixture of their research and career progression and experiences working in science.

We are hoping listening to scientists talk about their inspiring research and experiences will help support the professional growth of all scientists and people in underrepresented groups in their careers.

Speakers include:
Prof. Moniek Tromp (RUG)
Prof. Donna Blackmond (Scripps) - Reflections on an Asymmetric Career Path - Watch recording
Dr. M Sankar (Cardiff) - Role of the Support in my Career and in Catalysis - Watch recording
Dr. Rachel Cowen (Manchester) - Putting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at the centre of research and innovation practices and culture - Watch recording
Dr. Rebecca Melen (Cardiff)
Dr. Shaoliang Guan (HarwellXPS) - Catalysis in a 2D world - Watch recording
Dr. Bao Nguyen (Leeds) - Diversity in Catalysis - Watch recording
Dr. Sarayute Chansai (Manchester) - State of the art in-situ spectroscopic technique for characterising and studying the heterogeneous catalytic reactions - Watch recording
