The OWSD-Elsevier Foundation Awards 2025 celebrates early-career women scientists from developing countries who have made significant contributions to the field of inclusive health. These awards aim to support and empower women scientists, promoting gender equality in STEM fields and contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG3) – Good Health and Well-being.
The awards celebrate women scientists who have received their PhD within the last ten years and whose current research addresses issues in inclusive health. This includes areas such as maternal health, child mortality, substance abuse prevention, road traffic injury reduction, and access to reproductive health services. The awards are part of a broader initiative to advance knowledge in health and well-being in scientifically and technologically lagging countries (STLCs).
