The Baltic National Academies of Sciences in cooperation with National Commissions for UNESCO launched a joint contest for women scientists. Nine outstanding Baltic women scientists – three in Estonia, three in Latvia and three in Lithuania – will receive an award of €7,000 in recognition of their previous work and for pursuing further research in their scientific field.

The call in Lithuania is open until 29 June 2025. Applications are accepted https://konkursai.lma.lt

Applications are invited from women scientists who are currently pursuing doctoral studies at Baltic universities or research institutions, or who have completed their doctoral studies no more than seven years ago and are working at a Baltic university or research institution.

In all three countries, two awards are foreseen in the fields of Natural Sciences, Engineering and Technology, Medical and Health Sciences (including the Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences in Estonia and Lithuania as well) – one for a Doctoral Candidate and one for a Doctor of Sciences. One award for a Doctor of Sciences in the fields of Social Sciences or Humanities is foreseen in each Baltic country.

The aim of the joint awards is to support young women in their pursuit of a career in the field of scientific research in the Baltic States.
