This global initiative aims to establish a network where people of all genders can work together to address the barriers faced by women in science. For 2026, we are congregating under the powerful global theme: "MANY VOICES, ONE SCIENCE." Our primary goal is to inspire the next generation of female researchers. Your address focusing on "Encouraging and Increasing the Participation of Women in Science" is exactly what our audience—comprising undergraduate students, researchers, and faculty members—needs to hear. We will have participants not only from India, but from other parts of the globe, such as Indonesia, the USA, Germany, etc.

It is a matter of great pride and honor for the Department of Chemistry, Government Holkar Science College, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India, to be organising an online event celebrating the IUPAC-Global Women's Breakfast (GWB) 2026.
