The International Atomic Energy Agency has launched a new fellowship programme for up to 100 female graduate students a year to help close what it says is “a persistent gender gap” in the nuclear field.
Named after twice Nobel Prize winner, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme aims to increase the number of women working in nuclear science and technology.
The initiative, by IAEA director-general Rafael Mariano Grossi, was presented at an agency event in Vienna to mark International Women’s Day. Marie Skłodowska-Curie’s granddaughter, nuclear physicist Hélène Langevin-Joliot, sent a video message in support of the initiative.
