Every year, the L'Or茅al Foundation awards women who have excelled in their science PhD projects in order to encourage more women to study sciences. Currently, women scientists are leading in ground-breaking research across the world. However, despite their remarkable discoveries, they still represent just 33.3% of researchers globally, and their work rarely gains the recognition it deserves. Less than 4% of Nobel Prizes for science have ever been awarded to women.
