New Dimension (Nova Dimensão) Award honors selected doctoral theses focused on innovation and entrepreneurship produced by women in biotechnology in Brazil. This award dedicated to women in science is possible due to a partnership with the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES).
Each year in Brazil about 20,000 doctoral theses are produced. Among them approximately 1,000 theses are pre-selected by graduate programs, based exclusively on scientific merit, to compete for the CAPES Doctoral Thesis Award (Premio CAPES de Tese). The New Dimension Award was added as a category honoring Brazilian women scientists in 2020.
