The Windsor Fellowship is working in partnership with the Royal Society of Chemistry to deliver Destination STEMM – Chemical Sciences, a mentoring programme for year 12 students from a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic background.
About the Royal Society of Chemistry
Chemistry is at the centre of everything you can see, smell, touch and taste.
Whether studying the chemistry of life, or developing the advanced science behind modern technology, chemical scientists use their expertise to improve our health, our environment and our daily lives.
Collaboration is essential. We connect scientists with each other and society as a whole, so they can do their best work and make discoveries and innovation happen.
We publish new research. We develop, recognise and celebrate professional capabilities. We bring people together to spark new ideas and new partnerships. We support teachers to inspire future generations of scientists. And we speak up to influence the people making decisions that affect us all.
