<p>We want to recognise excellent science, whoever is behind it, and ensure everyone is included, whatever their background or role.</p> <p>Following the publication of an independent review of our recognition programmes, <a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/discovery-research-and-innovation/discovery-research-innovation-reports-surveys-campaigns/re-thinking-recognition/">Re-thinking recognition: Science prizes for the modern world</a>, we are taking steps to make our prize portfolio more reflective of our community and the ways in which they contribute to science by:</p> <ul> <li>evolving our prize portfolio to put greater emphasis on teams and collaborations, educators, and those who are in earlier stages of their career</li> <li>expanding our definition of scientific excellence</li> <li>working with the scientific community to expand the pool of people, teams and collaborations nominated for our prizes</li> <li>continuing to review our approach to eponymous prizes</li> </ul> <p>Since 2015 we have published annual statistics relating to diversity in our prize programme. <a href="/globalassets/10-prizes-funding/prizes/2022-winners/2022-prizes-diversity_nov22.pdf">Download diversity data for our 2022 prizes</a>.</p> <h3>Inclusion & diversity in the chemical sciences</h3> <p>As a professional and membership body, and a leading voice for the chemistry community, we have a responsibility to ensure that chemistry is for everyone.</p> <p>Our <a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/strategy/">Inclusion and Diversity Strategy to 2025</a> is pushing us further than before to increase the diversity of people choosing the chemical sciences and fulfilling their potential for a truly inclusive community. This will – in time – be reflected in the diversity of our prize programme.</p> <ul> <li>Our recent report <a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/surveys-reports-campaigns/racial-and-ethnic-inequalities-in-the-chemical-sciences/">Missing Elements: Racial and ethnic inequalities in the chemical sciences</a> paints a stark picture of the realities experienced by those who are Black or minority ethnic in chemistry and sets out our commitments, including: <ul> <li>Creating a dedicated Race & Ethnicity Unit, funded by an initial £1.5 million investment to lead systemic change</li> <li>Partnering with chemical industry employers to create a pilot programme <a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/activities/horizons-programme/">Broadening Horizons in the Chemical Sciences</a>, providing Black and minority ethnic undergraduates, postgraduates, and recent graduates with access to career routes in industry, innovation and entrepreneurship</li> <li>Launching a five-year <a href="https://www.windsor-fellowship.org/dstemm-chem-sci">Destination STEMM – Chemical Sciences</a> mentoring scheme for Y12 Black and minority ethnic chemistry students, in partnership with the Windsor Fellowship and supported by the Chemists' Community Fund</li> <li>Proactively increasing representation in our governance, committees and editorial boards</li> <li>Engaging with our community and partners to listen to, share and learn from lived experiences, and continually challenging ourselves to do more</li> </ul> </li> <li>In 2021 we released our report <a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/surveys-reports-campaigns/belonging-in-the-chemical-sciences/">A sense of belonging in the chemical sciences</a> – the first ever study of chemical scientists' lived experiences of belonging</li> <li><a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/surveys-reports-campaigns/breaking-the-barriers/">Breaking the barriers</a> – Our 2018 report gave us new insights into the barriers women face in the chemical sciences</li> <li><a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/framework-for-action/">Framework for action in scientific publishing</a> – Our framework for action maps out the steps we will take to minimise <a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/surveys-reports-campaigns/gender-bias-in-publishing/">bias in publishing processes</a></li> <li>In 2019 we released a report called <a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/surveys-reports-campaigns/lgbt-report/">Exploring the workplace for LGBT+ physical scientists</a></li> <li>In 2020 we released the <a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/resources/lgbt-toolkit/">LGBT+ toolkit</a> – resources for everyone to take part in positive change: employers and managers, colleagues and allies, and LGBT+ individuals</li> <li><a href="/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/resources/bullying-and-harassment-support/">Bullying & harassment support service</a> – In 2019 we launched a
