Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists

Limited Submissions

Note: This is not a limited submission and is being announced as a courtesy only.

Science, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and SciLifeLab, joined forces in creating the Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists to recognize excellence amongst young researchers from around the world. The Prize was launched with the vision to recognize that global economic health is dependent upon a vibrant research community. A vision that will only come true if we encourage our best and brightest to continue in their chosen fields of research.

The international Prize is awarded annually to four young scientists for outstanding life science research based on a doctoral degree earned in the previous two years.

The grand prize winning essay will be published in Science and essays from the three category winners will be published online. In addition, all four winners of the Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists will be invited to Sweden in December 2025 to participate in a unique week filled with events in honor of science. Here they will have the opportunity to meet with leading scientists in their field of research and create life-long connections to support their career.
