Meet the Fellows
Our Fellows are a diverse group of talented, self-driven women scientists from the world’s developing and emerging economies.
By applying scientific rigour to solve specific technical issues in their home countries, Fellows are developing powerful solutions – some offering the potential for scale up beyond their local region.
This advanced research also provides the vital scientific basis needed to generate social awareness and propose better policies.
Search by area of research, UN sustainable development goal or location to find out more about their amazing achievements.
