      Science should be accessible to all, free from barriers that hinder individuals from realizing their potential.

      A diverse and inclusive scientific community enhances its ability to achieve remarkable advancements.

      By fostering equality, diversity and inclusion, the European Ceramic Society and its members will create greater opportunities for individuals in the field of ceramics.
