Nominations for 2026 TÜBA Academy Prizes

The nomination process for the 2026 International TÜBA Academy Awards, established within TÜBA’s mission to encourage and recognize scientists, has commenced. Nominations will continue until 15 May 2026.

The International TÜBA Academy Awards are presented annually in three categories, which are: Science and Engineering Sciences, Health and Life Sciences, and Social Sciences and Humanities. The awards are granted to scientists who have produced original, pioneering, and groundbreaking work in their respective fields. By decision of the Academy Council, nominees for the TÜBA Academy Awards may be proposed from the international community for both Turkish citizens and foreign nationals, provided that they have conducted work related to Türkiye and have collaborated with scientists and scientific institutions in Türkiye. The awards in all three categories are open to all scientists in Türkiye and around the world.

Nominations for the International TÜBA Academy Awards may be submitted by TÜBA members; Rectorates of universities in Türkiye; science academies with which TÜBA maintains relations; international umbrella organizations of academies; and scientific institutions invited by the Presidency of the Academy. Current TÜBA members, employees, and scientists involved in the evaluation processes are not eligible for nomination. In addition, nominees proposed for the Academy Awards must not have received another national and/or international science award granted by public institutions and organizations in Türkiye within the last three years.

The award recipients are determined by the Academy Council on the basis of evaluations by domestic and international referees and the assessments of the field committees. As defined in the Procedures and Principles of the Academy Awards, the awards consist of the Academy Award Medal and Certificate, together with a monetary prize determined each year by the Academy Council, and will be conferred upon the recipients at a ceremony held under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye at the Presidential Complex.
