For Women in Science is an annual L'Oréal-UNESCO award that recognizes women's scientific achievements and creates equal opportunities for their professional development in science.
The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, together with partners, announced the start of a new season of the All-Ukrainian L'Oréal-UNESCO Award "For Women in Science". The initiative is designed to support Ukrainian women scientists, promote research, and celebrate the contribution of women to scientific and technological progress.
KhAI has a powerful scientific school, fundamental research, and innovative developments. Therefore, we invite female scientific and pedagogical workers, graduate students, and young researchers of the university to join the competition and present their scientific achievements at the all-Ukrainian level.
According to the results of the competition, three laureates will receive 500,000 hryvnias each for the development of their own scientific projects.
Who can participate?
Female citizens of Ukraine aged 18 to 40 inclusive, who meet the requirements of the award and have scientific achievements in the STEM field, are invited to participate.
The selection criteria include scientific activity, publication activity, in particular the presence of publications indexed in Scopus and/or Web of Science, Ukrainian affiliation, and participation in the popularization of science.
Applications can be submitted until August 30, 2026.
At the same time, the development of the For Women in Science project in Ukraine involves not only an annual award. Among the strategic directions are holding a scientific conference that will bring together leading female scientists, meaningful speeches, and an exhibition of science-intensive startups. For Girls in Science is also planned - a continuation of the initiative for a new generation of female researchers.
