The second edition of the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science South African National Programme aims to promote and encourage young women in science. This programme identifies and rewards talented young female scientists in the field of Formal sciences, Life sciences, Environmental sciences, Physical sciences, Engineering and Technological sciences.
Since the inception of the programme in Africa in 2010, we have seen significant growth. There are now two dedicated programmes for Africa in line with our vision of empowering more young female scientists across Africa:
The South African National Programme
The sub-Saharan Africa Regional programme
This programme honoursseven talented South African women for the quality of their research and encourages them to pursue a career in science in any South African Province.
Five research grants of R80 000 each for five PhD researchers enrolled at a South African institution and completing their doctorate in a research laboratory.
Two research grants of R160 000 each for two South African post-doctoral researchers working in a laboratory or research institute registered in one of the South African provinces
