Frequently Asked Questions

The International Scientists Award is a prestigious online recognition program that honors outstanding researchers, scientists, and innovators from around the world. We celebrate excellence in research, innovation, and contributions to advancing knowledge across various scientific disciplines — entirely through a digital platform.

Nominations can be submitted by colleagues, peers, supervisors, research collaborators, or professional associates who are familiar with the nominee's work. Self-nominations are also accepted. All nominators must provide valid contact information and supporting documentation via our online portal.

There is no fee to submit a nomination. However, award winners may be required to pay a processing fee to receive their digital certificate and physical trophy delivered by post. Details about any applicable fees will be communicated upon selection.

The number of awards varies by category and year, depending on the quality and volume of nominations received. Multiple awards may be given in each category if there are several outstanding candidates. Our goal is to recognize excellence rather than meet a fixed quota.
