Description
The Women’s Impact Award is a joint initiative of the Falling Walls Foundation and the Elsevier Foundation, and part of the Falling Walls Global Call for Science Breakthroughs. It recognises work led by women that combines outstanding research with meaningful societal impact for women and girls. The award aims to bring greater visibility to achievements in a research environment where women remain underrepresented in senior leadership and high-visibility recognition.
Projects may address a gender-related topic while integrating gender equality into their design and methodology. They may also enable and support underserved or marginalised communities through their research design or the application of their outcomes.
