At the end of the 1990s, women accounted for 27% of researchers worldwide. In 2014 this percentage had risen to 30% and today one out of three researchers is female (33%). While the number of women pursuing scientific careers is gradually increasing, this improvement is far from insufficient in research. Furthermore, in Europe only 18% of top scientific roles are held by women and only 12% of members of national scientific academies are women. At the same time less than 4% of the Nobel Prizes in the natural sciences have been awarded to women.
On June 15, 2023, the L’Oréal Foundation and UNESCO awarded women scientists from the five main regions of the world who have distinguished themselves for their outstanding careers and for their contribution to society through their research work in Physics, Mathematics and Computer Sciences. A unique ceremony that was held at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
To date the program has awarded over 4,100 female scientists including 127 international graduates and more than 4,000 young female researchers.
