Will you win the Women Award in Technology and Science (WATS) ?
In Belgian higher education, women are underrepresented in scientific, technological, engineering and mathematical (STEM) courses. At the same time, the labour market often struggles with a shortage of higher educated STEM profiles.
In order to tackle these trends, Innoviris is again this year looking for a female ambassador who inspires women and young people in Brussels about science and technology. In order to do so, the science ambassador receives €10,000.
Are you eligible?
- You have a degree in Exact Sciences or Technology.
- You work in the Brussels-Capital Region.
- You have more than 5 years professional experience in the science and/or technology field.
- You have already undertaken at least one science awareness-raising activity.
The procedure in 3 steps
- Submit your application using the form below.
- The jury will evaluate all applications and make a first selection.
- During the I Love Science Festival the candidates will introduce themselves to the public. On the basis of this introduction and the social media campaign (see rules and regulations), visitors will finally choose the new Brussels Science Ambassadress.
Good to know
On the occasion of the I Love Science Festival, candidates receive a science awareness-raising training. The date of this training will be announced shortly.
