For the past 18 years, the program has encouraged, promoted and honoured women scientists all over the world. This year, the L'Oréal Foundation and UNESCO are taking the next step towards change: the launch of the Manifesto to raise awareness and mobilize the public's active support for the cause of women in science.

Jean-Paul Agon , Irina Bokova , and this year's President of the Jury, former Laureate and Nobel Prize winner Elizabeth Blackburn , all signed the Manifesto, along with the Laureates, International Rising Talents and 800 guests in attendance to ensure the visibility and public support necessary, so that everyone involved can work together towards gender equality in the sciences.
