About this Session

Join this session to hear how the RSC is shining a light on the importance of fostering and enabling a culture in science that is open, empowering, and supportive of all individuals.

Featuring three short talks from our members and partners in industry, this session will highlight the foundations we have identified as key to a great science culture:

  • Scientific practice – the way science and innovation are conducted
  • Participation in science – who is able and enabled to take part in science and innovation
  • Wellbeing and development – how people are treated and empowered to achieve their potential

A panel discussion will follow, providing a platform to ask questions and share your views on the challenges and opportunities you see towards achieving this vision.
