The International Women's Breakfast is an event held in February of each year in conjunction with the United Nations Day for Women and Girls in Science and with the aim of celebrating the achievements of "Women in Science", where men and women from all types of scientific organizations working in all fields of science come together to share breakfast. Either by default or in person.

The central goal is also to create an active network of both men and women to overcome barriers to gender equality in science.

The World Breakfast facilitates the formation of communities at the local, regional and international levels to effectively exchange ideas and strategies for progress, and the theme for 2022 is "Empowering Diversity in Science".
