Congratulations to Professor Yi Xie for being honoured the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Award!

“As the International Year of Light celebrates science and knowledge all over the world, the L’Oréal Foundation and UNESCO will present, on March 18th, the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards to five outstanding women scientists and 15 grants to promising young researchers. Each of these women is a brilliant example of scientific excellence. They prove everyday that women can greatly contribute to scientific progress in a field still largely dominated by men.”

This year’s 5 Laureates of the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards are being honored for their ground-breaking discoveries in the physical sciences. By studying the infinitely large to the infinitely small, they have pushed back the frontiers of knowledge to explain the most fundamental questions of the universe and contribute to solving some of today’s greatest challenges. Passionate in life as much as in their work, they are also committed to giving back to their communities and transmitting their love of science.

Yi Xie – Inorganic Chemistry
Professor, University of Science & Technology of China, Hefei, CHINA
Rajaâ Cherkaoui El Moursli – High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics
Professor, Mohammed V- Agdal University, Rabat, MOROCCO
Dame Carol Robinson – Physical Chemistry – Mass Spectrometry
