Zonta Prize
The ZONTA-Club Würzburg awards an annual prize to a highly qualified young female scientist. The award is usually announced for young female scientists with a doctorate in the STEM subjects (chemistry and pharmacy, mathematics, and computer science as well as physics and astronomy) and/or the life sciences. We are looking for female candidates who distinguish themselves through their scientific achievements as well as their commitment to gender equality.
Proposals for candidates or applications are collected throughout the year at the University's Women's Representative Office. The ZONTA Club decides on the awarding of the prize, which is endowed with 2,000 euros.
The ZONTA Club is an internationally active service club of professional women and has been committed to supporting young female academics at the University of Würzburg since 1995.
