New L'Oreal -UNESCO-ABC Award laureate is member of INCT Nanocarbono
In 2021, another INCT Nanocarbono colleague was awarded the L'Oreal -UNESCO-ABC Prize: Dr. Ingrid Barcelos from CNPEM-Campinas/SP. We gonna take the oportunity of this happy event to remember all our researchers awarded in previous editions of the award and learn a little about their careers.
Our award winners:
2006 -Solange Binotto Fagan (UFN); 2007 -Tatiana Gabriela Rappoport (UFRJ); 2016 -Elisa Souza Orth (UFPR); 2017 -Jenaina Ribeiro Soares (UFLA); 2018 -Jacqueline dos Santos Soares (UFOP); 2021 -Ingrid Barcelos (CNPEM)
Since 2006, the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC), in partnership with L'Oreal and UNESCO, annually awards young Brazilian female doctors in the program“For Women in Science”. Our Institute, the INCT Nanocarbono, is honored to have among its members 6 PhD researchers awarded with such an important award. The figure shows the bibliographic production of our award-winning researchers and the co-authorships resulting from their research.
