The Science Factor - Leading Girls Wanted

Posted in News
19 December 2011

The Science Factor aims at solving a paradox of our days – high unemployment among young people is registered in France and all across Europe, and yet innovative high-tech companies encounter problems with recruiting new candidates.

Under the auspices of the French Minister of Higher Education & Research and supported by Orange and Syntec, Science Factor is a contest aiming at inciting at least 1500 young people to opt for science education.

Teams of maximum 4 highschool pupils can subscribe until 31 January 2012 on the Facebook page of the contest (http://www.facebook.com/sciencefactor) in order to present the project of a research they’d be interested in doing.

One small tweak: the teamleader must be a girl!

The five finalist teams will be able to present their project to a jury presided by Claudie Haigneré, President of Universcience. The prize will consist in 2000EUR for the winning team hat can be spent on high-tech products and in 4 Passing Tickets for Universcience.

The Science Factor is a side-initiative of the media campaign Sensationnelles that promotes science education and careers for young women & girls by bringing together testimonies of women working in the field. In 2010, the campaing was joined by some of the WIL members (full article on WIL and Sensationelles).

To find out more or support the initiative, contact Claudine Schmuck. Looking forward to hearing from you!
