Nominations for the Latsis Swiss Science Prize are open
Researchers and research institutions are invited to submit nominations for the Latsis Swiss Science Prize. In 2026, it will be awarded to a researcher in the fields of mathematics, natural and engineering sciences.
Since 1984, the SNSF has annually awarded the Latsis Swiss Science Prize to outstanding researchers in Switzerland on behalf of the Latsis International Foundation. The prize honours researchers with an academic age of no more than ten years for their excellent work in basic research.
Researchers and research institutions can directly nominate potential prizewinners. The award alternates yearly between the research domains of humanities and social sciences; mathematics, natural sciences and engineering; and biology and medicine.
This year, the Programme Committee Careers of the SNSF Research Council will select a laureate from the fields of mathematics, natural and engineering sciences (excluding life sciences) who will receive 100,000 Swiss francs.
Further information on the nomination process and conditions can be found in the Regulations for awarding the Latsis Swiss Science Prize. Nominations must be submitted in English using the relevant form and sent to
