Neuron Awards 2024: Celebrate the Beauty of Science with Us

The stories of Neuron Award laureates remind us that science is full of emotions. For them, the work of a scientist is a puzzle, a game, hope, passion, joy, and love. Every scientific achievement is rooted not only in profound knowledge but also in immense creativity and a desire to explore the unknown. This is why the central theme of the Neuron Awards 2024 is the motto Science is Beautiful.

The Neuron Foundation will honor one scientist with the Neuron Award 2024 for Lifetime Contribution to Science, seven promising scientists, and one scientific patent successfully transferred to business. A new addition this year is the Neuron Award for Fostering a Love of Science, which recognizes teachers and science popularizers.

The laureates will receive monetary prizes funded by Neuron Foundation patrons:

- 500,000 CZK for the Neuron Awards for Promising Scientists
- 1,500,000 CZK for the Neuron Award 2024 for Lifetime Contribution to Science and Neuron Award for Fostering a Love of Science.

The awardees will be announced on our website on Sunday, January 19, at 7:00 PM. Follow Neuron Foundation's social media for a behind-the-scenes look at the ceremony.

Celebrating the Beauty of Science and Its Emotions

At the heart of every significant discovery lies a simple question: Why?
Why do flowers follow the sun?
Why do stars collapse?
Why doesn’t the immune system recognize tumor cells in time?

It is this curiosity that shapes our knowledge, drives incredible innovations, and continually pushes the boundaries of what humanity can achieve. The achievements of our laureates are not just collections of data. They allow us to glimpse worlds we do not yet fully understand, offer solutions to long-standing mysteries, and inspire us and future generations.

At the Neuron Foundation, we believe that the beauty of science is not only intellectual but profoundly aesthetic.

We believe that Science is Beautiful.
