Organizations of all kinds take part in the event: universities, companies, national chemistry associations, government entities and other scientific organizations, as well as individual groups of chemists.
The event held in the UMU chemistry faculty cafeteria has been broadcast live on the university website and all the chemical women of the Faculty have been invited to breakfast.
This breakfast has coincided in Murcia with the celebration of the International Symposium on women and the periodic table of the elements in the Faculty of Chemistry, which has led to women scientists with relevant positions within international organizations such as IUPAC are present.
