11 years ago L’Oréal and UNESCO founded the For Women In Science Programme to promote and highlight the importance of ensuring greater participation of women in science.
Each year, the programme recognises the achievements of exceptional female scientists and awards them with fellowships to help further their research.

This year, four awards of £15,000 each (equivalent value in Euros for candidates in Ireland), will be offered to outstanding female post doctoral researchers in the UK and Ireland, adjudicated by a panel of eminent scientists and chaired by Baroness Susan Greenfield, Director of the Royal Institution.

The deadline for applications is Wednesday 8th April 2009
