2023 L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science UK & Ireland Rising Talent Programme

8 November 2022

Applications for the 2023 L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science UK & Ireland Rising Talent Programme are now open until Friday, 2 December.

Five outstanding early-career women scientists will be awarded 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 17:00 GMT.
