Join NATO's "Women and Girls in Science" challenge
The Universidade Católica Portuguesa announces NATO's "Women and Girls in Science" challenge, as part of International Women's Day ( March 8) and the International Day of Women and Girls in Science ( February 11).
This NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) challenge is aimed at female university students and early career researchers up to 35 years old. Its goal is to inspire young women to pursue and/or further their careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Participants must submit a short research proposal of up to 1,300 words, addressing one of the following NATO Science and Technology (S&T) focus areas:
- Energy security
- Climate change
- Human security
- Societal resilience
The research proposal should be guided by the following question: What research idea would you like to see NATO realise over the next five years?
The proposals should aim to solve an existing issue or prevent the evolution of a new problem for international security.
The three winners will get to visit the NATO laboratory at the Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) in La Spezia, Italy, in the summer of 2024.
Applications are open until April 21, 2024.
