Empowering Women in Organic Chemistry (EWOC) is an annual meeting of women (students, post-docs, faculty and professionals) who work or plan to work in the field of Organic Chemistry broadly defined, from all types of institutions (academic, industry, biotech, non-profit and government). The first meeting was held on June 28, 2019 at the University of Pennsylvania.[1] The meeting consists of both science and career topics to provide support and guidance for the next generation of women chemists, as well as provide opportunities for professionals to learn up-to-date science, network and share experiences.[2] The 2020 meeting has been scheduled for Friday, August 14, and will be conducted virtually.[3]
The meeting goals are to
- Establish a peer group network for collaborating and recruiting
- Afford a novel mechanism to provide advice and counsel for women organic chemists
- Provide guidance to graduate students and post-docs making career decisions
- Provide community support to enhance retention of women in chemistry.[4]
