Application Deadline: June 16th 2015

Prize: Each of the five Laureates will receive an award of €100,000. Including Israel.

The solutions to attracting more women to science appear so obvious that few would disagree with them. L’Oréal-UNESCO  should, in particular, instill confidence in girls from an early age by showing them their own potential. More women scientists should also be able to obtain positions of responsibility, just like their male counterparts, so that future generations will have role models to inspire them.
