Summary
Women in STEM Roundtable: Many Voices, One Science will be a celebratory and empowering event at Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Ekpene, Nigeria, held in alignment with the IUPAC Global Women’s Breakfast (GWB) and the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. As part of the GWB2026 programme, which will connect more than 449 events around the globe, we join thousands of women worldwide, particularly from the Global South, to amplify diverse voices in science. The programme brings together women scientists, professionals, students, and young girls to share breakfast, network, and exchange experiences across disciplines. Through a keynote lecture, roundtable conversations, and mentorship-focused engagement, we celebrate the achievements of women in STEM, encourage the next generation of girls, and strengthen local and global networks committed to overcoming barriers to gender equality in science.
