L’Oreal-UNESCO UK and Ireland For Women in Science Fellowships
31 Jan 2010
Applications invited by 7 April
Applications have opened for the 2010 L’Oréal-UNESCO UK and Ireland Fellowships For Women In Science. This year, four fellowships, each worth £15,000, will be awarded to outstanding female post doctoral scientists in the UK or Ireland, adjudicated by a panel of prominent scientists. The four winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at the Royal Institution in June.
The Fellowships organised by L’Oréal, the UK National Commission for UNESCO, the Irish National Commission for UNESCO and the Royal Institution of Great Britain, were launched in 2007 and are designed to provide practical help for the winners to further extend research in their respected fields.
Winners may choose to spend their fellowships in whichever way is most helpful to them in continuing their research, whether it be buying scientific equipment, hiring an assistant or paying for childcare costs.
The 2010 awards will be adjudicated by a panel of eminent scientists chaired by Susan Greenfield, Professor of Pharmacology at Oxford University.
The closing date for applications to the 2010 L’Oréal-UNESCO UK and Ireland For Women In Science Fellowships is Wednesday 7 April.
