The scholarships under this scheme are awarded to up-and-coming researchers in natural sciences and interdisciplinary areas, and this year those are Natalija Ivanjko, a molecular biotechnologist, Katarina Mužina, a chemical engineer, Ana Novačić, a molecular biologist, and Marsela Polić, a scientist at the Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology.
Until 2021, this scholarship programme, supported by the Croatian Ministry of Culture and L’Oreal Adria, had covered 58 young women researchers who did projects and studies for their doctoral degrees.
