Ten Young Researchers Awarded the L’Oréal-Unesco Young Talents Prize

Since its creation in 2007, this program has identified and rewarded young female doctoral and post-doctoral researchers engaged in fields as varied as medicine, biology, astronomy, chemistry, physics or computer science.

This year, 35 young researchers received this award from the selection jury of the Academy of Sciences, for the excellence in their career.

Among them, ten studied at Sorbonne University or work in our research teams. We congratulate them!
