Gender aspects in the application phase

WWTF’s / Gender Strategy and Gender Equality Plan must be considered throughout the application. Please note, that WWTF requests jury members to take into account both gender and specific roles in research team composition, as well as gender in research content during evaluation processes. Besides taking the academic age and atypical career paths into consideration, WWTF has established a preferential rule for projects led by early-stage career researchers and female PIs, i.e., in case of equal quality, these should be given priority for funding.
