To qualify for the scholarship, the candidate needs to identify as a woman, be 35 years old or younger, be a PhD student at one of the two universities and have a gender perspective in her research. A further merit is to have conducted "efforts in the spirit of Karin Westman Berg", such as, for example, different sorts of commitment to gender equality within academia.
