2023 UNESCO Kalinga Prize for the Popularization of Science

AAAS Award for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility

Deadline: 30-Jul-23

UNESCO is inviting applicants for the Kalinga Prize for the Popularization of Science, an international award to reward exceptional contributions made by individuals in communicating science to society and promoting the popularization of science.

It is awarded to persons who have had a distinguished career as writer, editor, lecturer, radio, television, or web programme director, or film producer in helping interpret science, research and technology to the public. UNESCO Kalinga Prize winners know the potential power of science, technology, and research in improving public welfare, enriching the cultural heritage of nations and providing solutions to societal problems on the local, regional and global level.

By bridging the gap between science and society the benefits of scientific knowledge can be used to improve daily lives, empower people and find solutions to global, regional and local challenges. In order to strengthen communication between science and society it is important that efforts made in bridging the gap do not go unnoticed. Popularizing science needs to be championed, including all activities that communicate scientific knowledge and scientific methods to the public outside the formal classroom setting and promote public understanding of the history of science.
