L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science / We support women who move science forward

Every year, L'Oréal and UNESCO renew their joint commitment to promoting scientific careers and identifying outstanding women scientists. Even though women increasingly attain the highest academic levels, they are still under-represented at the top levels of scientific research. We are convinced that science is the source of progress for society and that women have an essential role to play in that progress.

For the past fourteen years, the L'Oréal-UNESCO "For Women in Science" programme has given recognition to over a thousand women scientists, providing visibility and encouragement for the exceptional quality of their work. These top-ranking scientists embrace universal challenges ranging from health to the environment, and represent hope for the future.
