FONDATION L’ORÉAL FOR WOMEN IN SCIENCE FESTIVAL
WHAT THEY NEEDED
Each year, the Fondation L’Oréal and UNESCO celebrate the scientific excellence of women researchers, each from a different major region of the world. Since the creation of the For Women in Science programme in 1998, 122 laureates and more than 3,800 talented young scientists, PhD students and post-docs have been supported and honoured in over 110 countries.
As the world began to rebuild after the pandemic, the Fondation L’Oréal and UNESCO decided to organise a one-day international festival on the theme of why and how women scientists will make all the difference in the post-Covid world.
