The L'Oréal Foundation, in partnership with the French National Commission for UNESCO, organises the Young Talents France programme to support the research of young women scientists. 35 grants are awarded each year in France.
Created in 2007, the L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Young Talents France program is committed to supporting the involvement of young women in scientific research. This program identifies and rewards brilliant young female researchers in life and environmental sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, computer science and information sciences, and engineering and technological sciences.
To date, 440 grants have been awarded to young female doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers — in metropolitan France and in the overseas regions — in recognition of the excellence of their academic level, the originality of their scientific project, and their desire to pass on their passion to younger generations. However, since the creation of this program, it is clear that inequalities and the glass ceiling persist in the academic research environment: only 26% of senior academic positions in science (Grade A) are held by women and, worldwide, only 4% of Nobel Prize laureates in science have been women*.
To further support this generation of female researchers at a pivotal moment in their scientific careers, the L'Oréal Foundation offers them leadership and communication training to help them access positions of responsibility more easily and more rapidly, and thus break through the glass ceiling.
