She is one of only 12 emerging research leaders worldwide to join the 2025–2027 team — the prestigious program’s 10th-anniversary cohort. Since 2016, the CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars program has empowered early-career researchers to strive for global impact by providing generous unrestricted research funding, leadership-development opportunities and championing bold ideas through deep, interdisciplinary collaboration.

Dr. Boróka Bó will join CIFAR' (opens in a new window)Innovation, Equity & the Future of Prosperity research program, where she will participate as an equal member within an international and interdisciplinary network of some of the world’s leading researchers, jointly pursuing fundamental research questions together. 

“As we celebrate a decade of the program, it is inspiring to see how far this next-gen initiative has come in supporting early-career researchers on their academic pathways,” says CIFAR President & CEO Stephen Toope. 

“I am honoured to welcome and congratulate the latest cohort of Global Scholars to our research community, and look forward to the bold ideas, discoveries and collaborations they’ll help spark at CIFAR.”
