Fifteen talented young women scientists, from all over the world, pursuing research at the doctoral or post-doctoral level will receive the UNESCO-L'OREAL International Fellowship and will present their research works at a ceremony that will be held on the 26 March 2013, at the Observatoire de Paris.
The UNESCO-L’ORÉAL fellowships scheme focuses on UNESCO’s premise that people are the world’s greatest resource and that innovation and excellence, especially among the young women community, deserve to be supported and encouraged through the concerted efforts of the international community. The award of the fellowships constitutes a key strategy through which impetus is being given to the enhancement of the role of women in devising scientific solutions to problems confronting humankind in the twenty-first century.
