Call for UK and Ireland For Women in Science Fellowships (2009)
Call for applications for the 2010 UK and Ireland Fellowships programme is now OPEN.
The L’Oréal-UNESCO UK and Ireland Fellowships For Women In Science are awards offered by L’Oréal UK & Ireland with the support of the UK National Commission for UNESCO, the Irish National Commission for UNESCO and the Royal Institution of Great Britain. The awards promote, celebrate, enhance and encourage, the role and achievements of women pursuing their research careers in the UK or Ireland in the fields of the life or physical sciences.
Four Fellowships are awarded each year to outstanding women scientists at postdoctoral level to enable promising scientific research in the life or physical sciences. The Fellowships, each worth £15,000 (equivalent € for candidates in Ireland), are tenable at any UK or Irish university or research institute to support a 12-month period of research.
The award can be spent in innovative ways to enable women scientists to pursue and continue their research careers – such as buying equipment, paying for childcare or funding travel costs to an overseas conference.
