Novonesis Biotechnology Prize

The Novonesis Biotechnology Prize is awarded annually to recognize outstanding European research or technology achievements that contribute to the development of innovative and sustainable biotechnology solutions for the benefit of people and the planet. The Prize raises awareness of basic and applied biotechnology research in areas such as biomanufacturing, industrial, environmental, food, or plant biotechnology. The Prize consists of a funding amount for the awardee's research (DKK 4.5 million), a personal award (DKK 0.5 million), and an international symposium within the awardee's field of research. The award is made through a nomination process by a prize committee after a confidential review of nominees who have made important contributions to European Science with a current position and active research program at a public or non-profit research institution in Europe.
