Launched together by Falling Walls Female Science Talents and the Elsevier Foundation, the Women Breakthrough Award distinguishes three women scientists each year who conduct visionary research while also engaging with issues of gender equity and equality in science.
With the Women Breakthrough Award, the Falling Walls Female Science Talents and the Elsevier Foundation are looking for women* conducting research in one of the fields related to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The organizers are seeking for exceptional talents who conduct interdisciplinary, groundbreaking research in their field and contribute to gender equality and diversity in science and academia.

The three Breakthrough Winners will be selected by a distinguished Jury and invited to take part in an in-person Award Ceremony in Berlin on 7 November 2023 as part of the Falling Walls Science Summit from 7-9 November 2023.
