Role Model Awards 2025

Nominate yourself or a colleague for the second edition of our Women in Pharma ROLE MODEL AWARDS. Entries can be in any format and should highlight why the nominee is a brilliant role model. Be a part of positively paving the way for the next generation in the pharma and life sciences industry.
Friday, March 14, 2025

There are some incredible people of all genders working in the pharma and life sciences industries.

Those who are making their difference in our world repeatedly tell us they have always had at least one woman in their work world who has paved the way, championed a woman’s way of working, inspired, empowered or encouraged them to be their biggest selves.

And a man who has supported them as an inspiration, sponsor, ally and mentor.

This second edition of the Women in Pharma ROLE MODEL AWARDS seek to recognise women and men who have, in some way been a brilliant role model.

Will you be brave and enter yourself? Or nominate a colleague?

Entries can be in any form. You decide. But keep it short and sweet. Examples could be: Written, Slides, Video and others.
