Here you will find information about the nomination criteria and guidance on how to nominate a candidate for the prize.
The Brain Prize may be awarded to one or more scientists who have distinguished themselves through outstanding contributions to any field of neuroscience, from basic to clinical.
Only candidates who are nominated by others will be considered for The Brain Prize. Further details of the nomination criteria can be found on this page.
The rewarded research must – from an international perspective – be outstanding. It is the task of The Brain Prize Selection Committee to decide in each individual case, what characterizes the research as outstanding and therefore deserves the prize. The current selection committee consists of 9 neuroscientists from all over the world and who are leaders in their fields.
Nomination criteria:
The nomination window usually opens in May.
The call for nominations will be announced on this website, on Twitter – @BrainPrize, and on various neuroscience society websites and newsletters.
