Abstract

As a follow-up to the 2019 International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements (IYPT2019), the Government of the Russian Federation proposed to establish and fund the joint UNESCO/Russian Federation International Prize for the Basic Sciences in the name of the Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleev. The initiative is to provide further support to the UNESCO’s International Basic Sciences Programme (IBSP).

At the 207th session of the UNESCO Executive Board on 21 October 2019 in Paris, the proposal was approved and the UNESCO-Russia Mendeleev International Prize in the Basic Sciences was established. The UNESCO Executive Board adopted the decision by acclamation, without a vote, supporting the establishment of the Prize by applause. The UNESCO-Russia Mendeleev International Prize in the Basic Sciences aims to bolster basic sciences education, research, international cooperation, and, consequently, the use and applications of these disciplines, which are fundamental for providing solutions to many of the development challenges that Member States face as they implement the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Prize will give recognition to achievements that are conducive to socio-economic transformation and development on a regional or global scale, by underpinning: (i) excellence in research in the basic sciences fields; (ii) basic sciences education and popularization; (iii) international or regional cooperation in the basic sciences.

The Prize is to be awarded annually to two individual award-winners for their breakthrough discoveries, outstanding innovations and avid promotion of the basic sciences, driving or with potential to drive in the future, socio-economic transformation and development of human societies. The Prize consists of a monetary reward of US $250,000 for each of the two winners.

The deadline for the 2021 edition is Monday 15 March 2021.
