The Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists honor exceptional young scientists and engineers in three disciplines - Life Sciences, Physical Sciences & Engineering, and Chemistry - by highlighting their extraordinary achievements, recognizing exceptional promise for future discoveries, and accelerating innovation through one of the largest unrestricted prizes ever created for early-career researchers. The prizes are awarded annually to three outstanding scientists, aged 42 years or younger, who each receive US$100,000.
The Blavatnik Awards were established in 2007 by the
Blavatnik Family Foundation to honor and celebrate exceptional young scientists (faculty and post-doctoral) in the United States. In March 2017, marking a decade since the establishment of the awards and as part of a cooperation agreement between the New York Academy of Sciences and the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, it was announced that the Blavatnik Awards will also be offered in Israel.
Three Israeli winners are chosen annually by disciplinary juries comprising some of the world’s most distinguished scientists and engineers and are recognized as Blavatnik Awards Laureates.
