THE NEXT NOBEL:
CLOSING THE GENDER GAP IN ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Despite women’s academic achievements, they make up only 6% of Nobel laureates. Research shows that early mentorship is crucial for women and nonbinary scholars, helping them advance in research careers and gain recognition.

To address this disparity, we at Indigo Research are thrilled to launch The Next Nobel scholarship!

This initiative aims to support exceptional young women and nonbinary scholars across all disciplines by providing the mentorship and resources essential to advancing their academic potential.
