The Inspiring Women in Science awards celebrate and support the achievements of women in science, and all those who work to encourage girls and young women to engage with STEM subjects and stay in STEM careers around the world. We invite applications in two award categories Science Outreach and Scientific Achievement. We are looking for initiatives that have either:

1. encouraged girls or young women to engage with and study natural sciences, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEM) or
2. increased retention of women in STEM careers, with a focus on providing tools to support women through their career progression in a STEM discipline.

Applicants must hold a non-tenured position at the time of application. We accept applications from those working in STEM. We also welcome applications that include an interdisciplinary component.
