Summary

The Global Women’s Breakfast 2025 at Middlesex University offers a welcoming space for participants to connect, share ideas, and promote equity in science. Open to scientists, staff, students, and professionals, the event focuses on Access, Representation and Inclusion, and Structural Change.
The programme begins with an Awareness Walk, to raise awareness on challenges in science. This is followed by small group discussions over coffee to explore practical solutions, with key ideas captured on Post-it notes for collective inspiration.
A presentation by the Athena SWAN team will showcase institutional efforts to support gender equity. Set in a relaxed atmosphere, the event encourages open dialogue and fresh perspectives to inspire meaningful action.
