We are pleased to announce that applications for the 2023 L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science UK & Ireland Rising Talent Programme are now open until Friday, 2 December.
Please help spread the word.
We will be awarding five outstanding early-career women scientists a grant of £15,000 (equivalent € for candidates in Ireland) to support their research in the fields of Physical Sciences, Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, Life Sciences and Sustainable Development.
The awards have been designed to provide flexible and practical financial support to enable these women scientists to further their research and careers. With the grant, winners may choose to spend their fellowship on buying scientific equipment, paying for childcare, travel costs or indeed whatever they need to continue their research.
In addition to financial support, each year past and present fellows receive training and networking opportunities supported by L’Oréal.
Candidates can apply online here by the deadline of 2 December 2022 at 5:00pm GMT.
The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 24 April 2023, further details will be shared on the website in due course.
We’d like to ask for your help communicating this opportunity through your networks and encourage applications.
Please see attached the following promotional materials to share via your network channels:
We will be hosting two webinars during the call for applications with some of the previous fellows speaking about their experience of the programme and an opportunity for potential candidates to ask questions. Webinars can be registered for here.
I hope that you will find these tools useful to help promote what I’m sure you will agree is a very important award. If you have any questions or require anything additional, please do not hesitate to contact the team.
