Enable Science

The Enable Science Network is committed to addressing the barriers facing disabled scientists and ensuring that science is accessible to all. We believe that disabled individuals have the right to participate in the practice and governance of science, which underpins our daily lives. With science at the centre of many of our greatest global challenges, it is essential that talent can be attracted and retained within scientific professions. As such, the Enable Science Network is dedicated to ensuring that the talent of disabled scientists is not overlooked. We recognise the need for a diverse scientific community to drive the development of new, creative, and effective solutions. We are funded through the Royal Society of Chemistry Inclusion and Diversity Fund’s Disability and Accessibility Special Calls. For more than 175 years, the Royal Society of Chemistry has been championing chemistry as a learned society, a professional body, a representative body, and a chartered body. With its purpose “to help the chemical science community make the world a better place”, the Royal Society of Chemistry continues to advance the knowledge and application of chemistry, uphold professional standards, advocate for chemists, and serve in matters of public interest.
