Introduction

We want to raise awareness of some of the barriers that chemistry students face and generate new ideas about how to help. Next spring, we will host a meeting for chemistry teaching staff predominantly in the UK to listen to student voices and to share good practices. The aim of the event is to listen to and learn from students and to share ideas about tackling these inequalities.
