These awards were created in Denmark in 2007 by the L’Oreal Foundation and UNESCO. The awards exist in different countries as well. Princess Marie has previously attended in 2013, 2015 and in 2017 .

The awards aims to recognize women in science and push women to expose their ideas and their works. Each year, three women are chosen among the contestants to receive the awards. An important objective for the award ceremony is to highlight the good role models among women in scientific research and to attract more women to the natural sciences. This year’s winners are Ph.D. Stine Linding Andersen, Assistant Professor Maria Andreasen and Assistant Professor Vida Engmann.
