Henkel demonstrates its commitment to women scientists by presenting its second Martha Schwarzkopf Award for Women in Science.

The international chemicals supplier Henkel has presented the “Martha Schwarzkopf Award for Women in Science,” a prize that honours the best female scientists . This year's three winners will receive a cash prize, a scientific exchange offer and support for their research work from Henkel experts.

“We are very pleased to further strengthen our scientific network in the field of hair research with this year's winners of the Martha Schwarzkopf Award for Women in Science. At the same time, we support exceptional female researchers in advancing the science of hair and hair follicle and thus gain new insights to continuously improve the lives of our customers,” has stated Frank Meyer, Head of R&D Henkel Consumer Brands.

The Martha Schwarzkopf Award is a research prize open to international women scientists from the fields of life sciences, physical and medical sciences as well as computer science. This year's winner specialises in hair research, or in related fields such as research on textile and wool fibres, analysis of biological surfaces or the interaction of substances with hair and scalp.

“We are very pleased that we have received so many qualified applications and were able to once more honour three female researchers. We are particularly pleased that we were able to fulfil our ambition of making the award even more international this year,” has added Andrea Sättler, Corporate Director R&D at Henkel Consumer Brands and Chair of the Martha Schwarzkopf Award expert jury.
