Louise, a Senior Lecturer in French Studies, received the accolade from the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) after acting as principal investigator on a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship under FP7 between 2012-2014.
Louise is profiled in an ebook which showcases women researchers who have undertaken a range of mobility activities such as spending extended periods studying and researching abroad, developing advanced language skills, and participating in and creating international, multilingual research networks.
The MCAA is committed to the promotion of women researchers and is sensitive to gender issues in research, and a Women in Science (WiS) working group has been established, working to promote the Gender Equality for Mobile researchers in Science (GEMS). The profiles in the ebook are intended to provide young women who are just starting out in their research careers with inspirational role models, by providing realistic information about career opportunities and challenges.
