WeizmannVoices talks to Prof. Lia Addadi, the President’s Advisor for Advancing Women in Science at the Weizmann Institute. She offers an inside look at an extraordinary program that is catapulting women scientists' careers to a new level.

This is a call for nominations to the Weizmann Women & Science Award 2019. This is a biennial award established in 1994 to honor an outstanding woman scientist who has made significant contributions to the scientific community. The objective of the award, which includes a $25,000 to the recipient, is to promote women in science, and to provide a strong role model to motivate and encourage the next generation of young women scientists. The Award is awarded by the Weizmann Institute and the award ceremony takes place at the Weizmann Institute.
