Weizmann Institute Women in Science Program Wins Award in Barcelona
Weizmann Institute Women in Science Program Wins Award in Barcelona

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/news-releases/weizmann-institute-women-in-science-program-wins-award-in-barcelona/

Mar 03, 2013... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—March 3, 2013—In honor of International Women's Day, the city of Barcelona will present the 27th Maria Aurèlia Capmany award on March 4 to the Weizmann Institute of Science for its commitment to advancing young women in science. A representative of the Institute will accept the prize at the Barcelona city hall from members of the city council section for Women and Civil Rights.
The Weizmann Institute was chosen for its national program for advancing women in science, founded at the Institute in 2007 to address the need to increase the numbers of women who choose science as a career and the percentages of women in top academic faculty positions. The program is meant to help young women through the main bottleneck that prevents many of them from continuing on to academic science positions in Israel: the need to conduct postdoctoral research abroad in the world's leading labs. By the time they have completed their PhDs, many women have spouses and young children, and the expense of moving the entire family abroad for several years can be prohibitive. To combat this problem, each year the Weizmann Institute gives special awards to 10 outstanding young women who have completed their doctorates in the natural or exact sciences in one of Israel's academic institutions, and who have been accepted to postdoctoral positions abroad. These grants — $20,000 a year for two years — are given on top of the fellowships awarded by the host institutes or other sources, and are specifically intended to help the women bring their families along.
