The L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science UK and Ireland Young Talent Awards is an annual programme that awards grants worth £25,000 (equivalent € for candidates in Ireland) to five outstanding early-career women scientists in the fields of Engineering, Life Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science, Physical Sciences and Sustainable Development.

The grants are designed to provide flexible and practical financial support to enable these women scientists to further their research and careers. In addition to the grant, fellows receive training and networking opportunities supported by L’Oréal.

The programme is run in partnership between L’Oréal UK and Ireland, the UK National Commission for UNESCO and the Irish National Commission for UNESCO, with the support of the Royal Society.

For more information on the programme and to apply, visit the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science website.

The full list of subject areas eligible within the five disciplines can be found in the terms and conditions.

The deadline for applications is Wednesday, 20 August 2025.
