The Scholarships Six will be allocated, each worth €20,000. They will go to professionals working in the fields of life sciences, environmental sciences, mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, and technologies. The L’Oréal-Unesco Prize “For Women and Science” reaches its 21st edition this year and thus asserts itself as one of the most cohesive collective initiatives in Italy – he says Emmanuel Julien– President and CEO of L’Oréal Italia. In 2002, being among the first countries to launch a national version of this program for female researchers was a real source of pride for us. To date, we have awarded 106 deserving Italian women scientists and we are honored to be able to contribute our prize to bridging the gender gap that unfortunately still exists in scientific disciplines. We look forward to receiving nominations again this year from the brilliant minds who will help shape the future of scientific advancement.”
