The 2023 awardees were selected from an impressive list of high achieving and creative women chemists or chemical engineers from all around the globe. In their individual career stories, each of the winners reveals a willingness to share their expertise and experiences with other chemists, and a passion for science. Their activities and outreach advance the chemical and chemical engineering sciences in so many diverse ways. The collection of articles in this January 2024 issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry have been specially prepared by some of the 2023 awardees. While some manuscripts explore topics within the awardee’s research interests, others chart individual career journeys. This special issue will inspire women scientists worldwide and provide encouragement to all of us to advance the chemistry of the future.

This year collection includes:

Yoshihiro Sohtome and Mikiko Sodeoka*Catalytic oxidative carbon–carbon bond-formations of benzene-1,2-diols
Suprotim Koley, Monika Gaur, Nilotpal Barooah, Achikanath C. Bhasikuttan and Jyotirmayee Mohanty*Supramolecular assemblies with macrocyclic hosts: applications in antibacterial activity
