ALT screenshot of RSC action plan, It’s time to act The depth of systemic inequalities are beyond any one institution’s capacity to change. Academia and industry; institutions and individuals – we all need to work together to stamp out racism and inequality and create the needed real, lasting and structural change. With the launch of this report we are committing to: Create a dedicated Race & Ethnicity Unit, funded by an initial £1.5 million investment to lead systemic change. Partner with chemical industry employers to strengthen career support, opportunities and progression. Launch a five-year RSC-Windsor Fellowship mentoring scheme for chemistry students. Proactively increase representation in our governance, committees and editorial boards. Engage with our community and partners to listen to, share and learn from lived experiences and continually challenge ourselves to do more.
