THE MISSION OF 500 WOMEN SCIENTISTS IS TO PROMOTE A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY THAT BRINGS PROGRESSIVE SCIENCE-BASED SOLUTIONS TO LOCAL AND GLOBAL CHALLENGES.

TO ACHIEVE OUR MISSION WE:

  1. Empower women to grow to their full potential in science;

  3. Advocate for science and equality.

OUR VALUES ARE ROOTED IN:

  • Recognizing that science touches the lives of every person on this planet;

  • Advocating for a strong role of science in society;

  • Identifying and acknowledging structural inequities and biases in science;

  • Pushing for equality and standing up to inequality, discrimination, and aggression;

  • Pushing to develop and strengthen access for traditionally underrepresented groups to fully participate in and become leaders in science;

  • Supporting the education and careers of all scientists;

  • Enhancing scientific mentorship and encouraging an atmosphere of collaboration;

  • Stepping outside of our research disciplines to communicate our science and engage with the public;

  • Using the language and wonder of science to bridge the divides that separate societies and to enhance global diplomacy.
