EU Science Prizes
Rewarding excellence
in science
Few should question the link between scientific research and
improvements in the fabric of society. But scientific research
needs - even deserves - more public recognition and visibility
than it is currently receiving. The EU's Science Prize programme
tackles this problem head-on by reinforcing excellence in
science.
The Science Prizes or 'Distinctions' reward European researchers
who have achieved outstanding scientific or technological
results, especially those demonstrating teamwork and/or involved
in collaborative research. Special emphasis is placed on science
students and scientists to motivate young people to strive
harder to secure Europe's scientific and technological future.
Through appropriate recognition and rewards, the sciences
should then be seen as a stable and attractive career path
for young people - with the benefits accruing to society as
a whole.
Two prizes are offered under this scheme:
