Access Keys:
The L’Oréal UK/ UK Resource Centre for Women in Science Engineering and Technology (UKRC) Bursary has been developed to address the issues facing women scientists in the UK and the specific problems for "women returners" i.e. women returning to work following a career break; often an extended maternity leave.
The award is very flexible and can be used to directly fund field work or perhaps to deal with secondary issues such as a supply teacher to cover lecturing hours or help with child care, so the scientist can devote more hours to her research project.
