Description
The Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists in Israel recognize promising faculty-rank researchers whose independent work demonstrates outstanding scientific merit and potential for future discovery. Supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation, the program is co-administered by The New York Academy of Sciences and The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
Awards recognize achievement in Life Sciences, Physical Sciences & Engineering, and Chemical Sciences, rather than funding a specified research project. Each year, one Laureate in each category receives unrestricted funds directly. The program emphasizes rigorous, influential, original research and the promise of further significant contributions. Only accomplishments from an independent research career are considered; doctoral and postdoctoral work is excluded.
