Kavli Prize

About

  • The Kavli Prize is awarded in honour of Norwegian-American businessman and philanthropist Fred Kavli (1927-2013).

The Kavli Prize | Kavli Foundation

  • The Kavli Prize is awarded by US-based Kavli Foundation in partnership with the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, and the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research.
  • The Kavli Prizes are awarded in three areas: 
    • Astrophysics (the largest)
    • Nanoscience (the smallest)
    • Neuroscience (the most complex)
  • The Kavli Prize was designed to be like the Nobel in the fields of astrophysics, neuroscience, and nanoscience. 
  • The Nobel Prize is only awarded for achievements made during the preceding year. But the Kavli Prize does not operate under such a restriction.

Why in news?

  • Eight scientists were awarded the Kavli Prize for their contributions to astrophysics, neuroscience, and nanoscience.
