UNESCO Science Prize

UNESCO Science Prize

The UNESCO Science Prize is a biennial prize awarded by UNESCO to "a person or group of persons for an outstanding contribution they have made to the technological development of a developing member state or region through the application of scientific and technological research (particularly in the fields of education, engineering and industrial development)."

The candidates for the Science Prize are proposed to the Director-General of UNESCO by the governments of member states or by non-governmental organizations. All proposals are judged by a panel of six scientists and engineers. The prize consists of US$15,000, awarded together with a UNESCO Albert Einstein Silver Medal at a ceremony held in odd years (2001, 2003, etc.), jointly with UNESCO’s General Conference.
