The Irène Joliot-Curie Award was set up in 2001 to promote the role of women in research and technology in France. Its aim is to showcase women scientists whose careers demonstrate excellence and a passion for research. The award is given by the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation and by Airbus, with the support of the French Academy of Sciences and Academy of Technologies.
The 2017 Irène Joliot-Curie Award will be given to scientists in three categories:
1) Female scientist of the year
2) Young female scientist
3) Women, research and business
The "Female scientist of the year" award is worth €40,000, and the "Young female scientist" and "Women, research and business" awards are each worth €15,000.
A panel reviews all applications and selects the winners that will go on to receive these awards from the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation and Airbus.
The submission deadline (by post and email) is September 15, 2017, at midnight.
