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

When: 22 July 2021

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)
Dr. M Sankar (Cardiff)
Dr. Rachel Cowen (Manchester)
Dr. Rebecca Melen (Cardiff)
Dr. Shaoliang Guan (HarwellXPS)
Dr. Bao Nguyen (Leeds)
Dr. Sarayute Chansai (Manchester)
