Programme details
L’Oréal Japan established the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Japan Fellowship Awards program in 2005 based on the belief that “the world needs Science and Science needs Women." The program aims to achieve gender equality in science by annually selecting four promising early-career female scientists and providing scholarships to honor their achievements and support their research activities. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the awards. To commemorate this milestone, a panel discussion will be held featuring previous awardees who have risen to leadership positions in the scientific world. The panel discussion will be joined by Dr. Maki Kawai, President of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences, who represents the Japanese scientific community and serves on the award's jury. The panel discussed gender disparity in science and the importance of supporting female researchers.

Under the slogan ‘The world needs Science, and Science needs Women’, the L'ORÉAL Foundation, in collaboration with UNESCO, created the L'ORÉAL-UNESCO Women in Science Award in 1998. The program awards a total of five women scientists, one from each of the five regions of the world. In addition, L'ORÉAL is working to realise gender equality in the field of science through national programmes in 110 countries around the world and the Girls In Science initiative, which was recently launched in France.
