The talented Bulgarian women were recognized under the “For Women in Science” fellowship programme of L'Oréal and UNESCO, which for a 12th time in a row was organized by M3 Communications Group, Inc.
The event was attended by hundreds of official guests, representatives of the scientific community and journalists, and was also broadcast on YouTube. You can get to know the wonderful laureates of the 2022 edirion in teh official YouTube channel of the program here.
The “For Women in Science” fellowships of L'Oréal and UNESCO are among the most renowned and expected scientific awards in Bulgaria implemented with the partnership of Sofia University. The prizes are intended to support young researchers' careers as well as to motivate them to develop their full potential for scientific discovery. Since its launch in 1998, the initiative continues to be the only global programme of its kind fighting for gender equality in science (women still represent only 33%* of researchers worldwide).
M3 Communications Group, Inc. is proud to be the main coordinator of the programme since its local launch, led by the belief that the world needs science and science needs women!
