The 10th edition of L’Oréal – UNESCO For Women in Science is now open!

The L’Oréal – UNESCO For Women in Science Programme is opening its 10th anniversary edition, inviting women researchers with a PhD under the age of 40 working at Slovak research institutions to participate.

Three laureates will receive financial support totaling €21,000 to further develop their research, careers, and personal growth.

📊 Although women represent a significant part of the scientific community in Europe, their representation in research and engineering remains low. In Slovakia, women make up only 34.3% of professionals in science and engineering, one of the lowest shares in the EU. This is why creating spaces where women’s scientific achievements are visible, valued, and supported truly matters.

🔬 Awards will be granted in three categories:
Engineering sciences and technologies
Life sciences
Physical and formal sciences

📅 Applications open: February 1 – April 30, 2026
🌐 More info & application: www.prezenyvovede.sk

If you’re eligible, don’t hesitate to apply.
If not, please consider sharing this opportunity with talented women researchers in your network.

Supporting women in science strengthens innovation, research, and our future 💙🔬
