Dear Faculty of Chemistry, University of Vienna:
Greetings from the VinFuture Prize Foundation in Hanoi, Vietnam!
It is our great pleasure to learn about your scientific career, reputation and contributions. And we are honored to invite you to become an Official Nominator for the “2021 VinFuture Prize,” as the Foundation would benefit tremendously from your expertise.
The VinFuture Prize is a newly established global science and technology prize originating from Vietnam. The Prize is set up to honor breakthrough scientific research and technological innovations that create meaningful change in the everyday lives of millions of people. It comprises a Grand Prize of US$ 3 million, awarded annually for breakthrough research and technological inventions that positively improve the quality of human life, and create a more equitable and sustainable world. Three additional Special Prizes of US$ 500,000 each will also be awarded annually to Innovator(s) from Developing Country(ies), Female Innovator(s), and Innovator(s) with Outstanding Achievements in Emerging Fields.
The VinFuture Prize aims to recognize exceptional inventors and researchers from universities, research labs, as well as grassroots inventors worldwide who might not be working in a formal research environment. Any research or technological innovation is eligible to be nominated for the Prize if it addresses everyday issues of people, by being aligned with one or more of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Prize Selection Process will be governed by an independent Prize Council, consisting of eleven (11) globally renowned individuals from academia, research and industry, chaired by Professor Sir Richard Henry Friend (University of Cambridge, UK). To be considered for the Selection Process, research or technological innovations must be nominated by the VinFuture Prize Nominators. Therefore, your expertise would greatly contribute to the selection of the most deserving people for the Prizes.
The official Call for Nominations is available on our website at: https://vinfutureprize.org/nominations.
