Welcome

You are warmly invited to join us for the in VISIBLE research and diversity conference. The conference is part of an Equality, Diversity & Inclusion project ( in VISIBLE) by the Warwick Black Chemistry Society (WBCSLink opens in a new window) and has been organised in collaboration with the Institute of Advanced StudyLink opens in a new window.

The conference will feature two days of research talks and posters by ethnic minority researchers as well as one day of diversity based talks to highlight projects targeted at addressing inequality gaps within academia. By reserving research talks for ethnic minority researchers, it is our aim to provide a dedicated platform for them to share their research contributions and feel celebrated in environments where they are often underrepresented.
