On the occasion of International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2018, we are pleased to announce 2nd NASO Women In Science Award 2018! The award will be distributed into two categories: student and professional on April 12, 2018 during a main function of our week long celebration of ‘International Day of Human Space Flight 2018’ to encourage and acknowledge the engagement and works of women in science in Nepal.

The award will be distributed into two categories: student & professional and includes the cash prize (Professsional: NRs 25,000/- and Student: NRs 15,000/-), trophy and certificate for both categories.

If you are a student or professional working on science and woman, we strongly encourage you to apply for this award.

The basic idea behind the creation of this award is to identify and acknowledge the contribution that Nepalese women are doing in STEM (science, technology, engineering & mathematics). We started Women in Astronomy Nepal (WIAN) on November 1, 2015 at NASO in order to create a unique platform for all the women. We believe, this award will add more enthusiam and encouragement among the women who are working in STEM.

Wish you all a very happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2018! Lets make better world empowering them to STEM!
