https:\/\/www.academia-net.org\/profile\/marta-plonska-brzezinska\/87281<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AcademiaNet (https:\/\/www.academia-net.org\/<\/a>) is a database of profiles of excellent female researchers from all disciplines. All researchers are nominated for AcademiaNet by prestigious science partner organisations according to strict selection criteria. AcademiaNet is supported by a network of renowned research organisations from all over Europe. It was initiated by the Robert Bosch Stiftung, which created the database in 2010. In 2020, the Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF took over the management of AcademiaNet. Excellent female researchers are nominated for AcademiaNet by 43 science partner organisations according to strict selection criteria. The selection criteria include outstanding scientific qualifications, outstanding academic references and independent leadership. It is not possible to apply directly to AcademiaNet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
