EU Science Contests and Prizes

Rewarding the fruits of scientific labour and communication

Stimulated by their curiosity and thirst for knowledge, most researchers find that science is its own reward. Nevertheless, these devoted individuals also deserve recognition for their hard work and the breakthroughs they make.

For this reason, the European Union supports anumber of science-related prizes. In addition to rewarding scientific excellence, these awards also seek to raise the profile and prestige of science and promote its popularity among citizens. And the EU hopes that the example of leading scientists and researchers will inspire more young people to pursue scientific studies and careers.
