Default Firms join forces to combat racism in chemistry

Firms join forces to combat racism in chemistry

22.09.2022

Leading firms have begun a scheme to help black and minority ethnic students get jobs as chemistry researchers.

The initiative follows an investigation which found that racism was "pervasive" in chemistry research.

There is just one black chemistry professor in the UK and black people in the field are less well paid and less likely to get promotions.

The initiative, called Broadening Horizons, is led by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Its chief executive, Dr Helen Pain, said the aim was to make a "step change" in getting black people in particular to pursue a career in science.
