The LNVH is (a founding) partner of the Dutch L’Oréal-Unesco FWiS-program, together with Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study (NIAS-KNAW). Two fellowships, worth €30.000 each, will be awarded to advance the academic career of women researchers three to ten years after they have finished a PhD.
The Fellowships offer women researchers a stay in an interdisciplinary and international academic environment at NIAS-KNAW in Amsterdam for one semester. Exempted from regular administrative (and/or) clinical and teaching tasks, the researchers can focus on broadening and deepening their research and writing publications or grant proposals.

Eligibility Criteria
Women researchers with 3 to 10 years of post-PhD academic experience (Veni/Vidi level) may apply for the L’Oréal UNESCO Fellowship.
Maternity leave, part-time work and family care will be taken into account, and if applicable, the
upper limit of 10 years can be extended by up to 18 months per child.
Applicants submit a proposal on a current research topic in the Life Sciences or STEM disciplines. The Life Sciences are defined as research focusing on scientific and engineering knowledge that contribute to understanding the underlying processes in the existence of living organisms. This includes the study of conditions of health and disease in humans. It implies a comprehensive and integrated approach which may also include the humanities and social sciences while at the same time doing justice to a solid foundation in the natural sciences.
Additionally, STEM is defined as the exact sciences, including technology, engineering and maths research.
As this program aims to increase the number of women professors in the Netherlands by improving the career prospects of women researchers, only researchers with a permanent or temporary contract3 at a Dutch university or research institute are eligible to apply. Zero-hour contracts or visiting researcher positions do not apply.
The Call is open from 16 January 2023 to 1 March 2023. Applications can be submitted for fellowships
at NIAS-KNAW starting early September 2023 or early February 2024 (the academic year 2023/2024).
Candidates who are not successful may apply a second time (only) by submitting a new project
proposal to the Dutch L’Oréal-Unesco For Women in Science Grant Program.
