Global Call for the Women’s Impact Award 2024
Launched together by Falling Walls Female Science Talents and the Elsevier Foundation in 2023 as the Women Breakthrough Award, the prize initially distinguished three women scientists of the year who conduct visionary research while also engaging with issues of gender equity and equality in science. This year, the Women Breakthrough Award becomes the Women’s Impact Award, a category which is now part of the Falling Walls Global Call between 1 March – 1 May 2024.
The Women’s Impact Award seeks to recognize women* in science who are conducting research projects related to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), exceptional talents who engage in interdisciplinary, ground-breaking research in their respective fields and contribute to gender equality and diversity in science and academia.
The three shortlisted projects, referred to as the Winners, will be selected by a distinguished Jury and invited to participate in an in-person Award Ceremony and Gala Dinner in Berlin on 7 November 2024, as part of the International Fall Gathering hosted by Female Science Talents. Among the three Winners, the Jury will select one final Science Breakthrough of the Year in the Women’s Impact category. The recipient of this award will present on the grand Breakthrough stage at the Falling Walls Science Summit on 9 November 2024.
You can either nominate someone else or directly apply. Deadline: May 1st, 2024.
