Reminder That Nominations for The Martha Schwarzkopf Award for Outstanding Female Scientists 2025 are Open

The Martha Schwarzkopf Award, supported by Henkel, recognizes long-term contributions

to hair science by women. This year, alongside the main award will be the “Emerging

Talent” award, which aims to recognize and encourage young female scientists.

Female researchers from the fields of natural, material and cosmetic sciences;

biotechnology; mechanical engineering; computer science and medicine are invited to apply

with their research achievements in hair or fiber research, or related fields.

Research activities could include:

Physical investigations into the mechanical behavior of fibers
Computer simulation of structural and active substance effects
Models for researching fibers, including scientific methods for surface analysis and fiber structure
Biotechnologically inspired protein and fiber research.

The main prize consists of 10,000 euros, while the award-winner for emerging talent will

receive 5,000 euros. The global winners will also receive a trip to the awards ceremony and

accompanying scientific conference in early 2026, where they will be honored guests and

have the opportunity to connect with leading Henkel scientists with the goal of promoting

mentorship and collaboration.
