Introduction

Is chemistry accessible for all? Our study, which draws on evidence from five years of outreach in disadvantaged schools, shows how outreach can help to overcome barriers to progression in chemistry.

Join us at this revealing virtual event to discover evidence relevant to researchers, outreach providers, schools, teachers and policymakers. Discuss how to increase students’ aspirations towards study of chemistry and related careers.
