VYZOV Prize: Challenge Accepted

The VYZOV Prize has closed its call for submissions. Scientists and engineers from around the world had 90 days to submit award nominations for studies and inventions that should improve the lives of millions of people.

The submissions will now be screened and then reviewed by the Scientific Committee. It is already apparent that this year’s award process will offer an even greater scale and more excitement than last year. We have received more submissions, and their geography has significantly expanded, involving nominees from every continent.

“The increasing number of submissions points to our award’s growing authority. Our international category, Discovery, is where we see the most notable increase. We just started reviewing submissions, but we’re already seeing a considerable number of remarkable nominees,” says Artem Oganov, Chairman of the VYZOV Prize Scientific Committee.

“Our award attracts more publicity each year. This is testimony to the confidence its Scientific Committee enjoys, and to the award’s impeccable reputation both in Russia and abroad. Nominations that have been submitted come from countries that are traditionally strong in science as well as from countries where science is developing right now, making great strides. We have several months of hard work and great responsibility ahead of us, going through an enormous number of submissions to find some true gems of scientific research.”
