The Joliot-Curie Programme
Promoting diversity in academic research careers
This programme of activities is designed to support early-career researchers who are aspiring to an independent career in academic research. The programme is named in honour of Irene Joliot-Curie, the daughter of Marie and Pierre Curie, who won a Nobel prize for Chemistry in 1935, jointly with her husband Frederic, for their pioneering work on artificial radioactivity. Irene Joliot-Curie is one of our 175 Face of Chemistry – read more about her life and work here: http://www.rsc.org/diversity/175-faces/all-faces/irene-joliot-curie/
