Championing Women in Science

The Weizmann Institute is dedicated to ensuring talented women scientists reach their full potential through mentoring, career development and support forums. Through the Office for the Advancement of Women in Science and Gender Equality, it offers a range of awards and scholarships such as the Women’s Postdoctoral Career Development Award in Science which supports women scientists during their postdoctoral training at leading institutions and laboratories abroad at a crucial stage in their career development. The award offers financial and professional development support to help women scientists and their families return to Israel and pursue a career in Israeli academia as well as individual career coaching. Since 2022 this award has helped almost 40 women with a grant of $70,000 to support the final two years of their postdoctoral studies.
