NATO Science Partnership Prize

An annual prize is awarded in recognition of excellence in scientific collaboration between Partner/Mediterranean Dialogue and NATO country scientists supported under the NATO SPS Programme. The NATO Science Partnership Prize was established in 2002, and is presented to the winners by the NATO Secretary General at a ceremony at NATO Headquarters.

Projects sponsored by the SPS Programme (primarily Science for Peace projects) are eligible for consideration for the Prize if they have been completed or have been underway for a minimum of three years. In the case of SfP projects, all required Progress Reports or Final Reports need to have been submitted.

The Prize recipients are at least one NATO country and one Partner or Mediterranean Dialogue collaborator participating in the cooperation activity. The Prize consists of a cash award of 10,000 Euros for each of the winners which is to be used to support their continued research activities, in addition to a specially-designed crystal trophy and a certificate.
