The project L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science was founded in Paris in 1998. It is aimed at women scientists under the age of 40. The project began in 2006 in the Czech Republic.  66 women scientists signed up for the domestic version of the international program this year. A jury composed of representatives of the Czech Academy of Sciences, UNESCO and L'Oréal, selected 13 semi-finalists. In the end, neurologist Petra Laššuthová, plant geneticist Terezie Mandáková and physiologist Michaela Tencerová became the laureates. Congratulations!
