The 2021 L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science UK & Ireland Rising Talent Programme is now open for applications! This programme aims to encourage women to pursue their research careers and contribute to advancing science.

If you are an exceptional early-career female scientist looking to advance your research, you could be awarded a bursary of £15,000.

The five awards will be dedicated to research in the fields of physical science, engineering, mathematics and computing, life science and sustainable development. The awards have been designed to provide flexible and practical financial support to ensure these women further their research and careers. With the flexible grant, winners may choose to spend their fellowship on buying scientific equipment, paying for childcare, travel costs or indeed whatever they need to continue their research. In addition to financial support, each year past and present fellows receive training and networking opportunities supported by L’Oréal.

Apply online before 31 May 17:00.
