We are delighted to present the latest iteration of our article collection "Women in Chemical Engineering".
At present, less than 30% of STEM researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Frontiers in Chemical Engineering is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of chemical engineering. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of the chemical engineering field and presents advances in theory, experiment and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
Scope: This article collection is open for submissions across all sections of the journal, and new articles will be added as they are published. Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
