Applications are open for the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Young Talents Sub-Saharan Africa 2020. The program aims to promote and encourage the participation of young African women in science.

This program identifies and rewards young talented researchers in the formal sciences, life and environmental sciences, material sciences, engineering sciences and technological sciences.

So far, the majority of applications received for the sub-Saharan Africa regional program have come mainly from South Africa. Given the importance of the challenges of African scientific research and the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science’s commitment to encourage more women scientists across sub-Saharan Africa, they decided to separate the initial regional program into two separate programs: A new programme dedicated to South Africa and The regional program of sub-Saharan Africa, with the 48 other countries of the region. For this 11th edition, 20 endowments will be given to encourage young researchers currently in doctoral or post-doctoral studies to pursue a brilliant scientific career.
