UNESCO-L'OREAL Fellowships / Oikos UNDP Young Scholars Development Academy / Oikos Young Scholars Entrepreneurship

UNESCO-L'OREAL Fellowships

Within the framework of the UNESCO Co-Sponsored Fellowships Scheme, a joint programme has been launched with the LโORรAL Corporate Foundation with a view to promoting the contribution of young women - from all over the world โ in research developments in the field of life sciences.

The UNESCO-LโORรAL fellowships scheme focuses on UNESCOโs premise that people are the worldโs greatest resource and that innovation and excellence, especially among the young women community, deserve to be supported and encouraged through the concerted efforts of the international community. The award of the fellowships constitutes a key strategy through which impetus is being given to the enhancement of the role of women in devising scientific solutions to problems confronting humankind in the twenty-first century.
