CGIAR Science Awards

The winners of all awards will be announced at the Science Awards Ceremony in conjunction with the Global Conference on Agricultural Research for Development (GCARD) to be held in Montpellier, France in late March.

Winners will be offered travel support to enable them to receive the award at GCARD.

Nomination, Evaluation, and Selection Procedures

Nominees for all awards - aside from the Journalism Award - must be from CGIAR Centers or other groups/organizations (such as NARS, advanced research institutions, civil society, private sector) who are collaborators in the implementation of a program with a CGIAR Center.

Previous awardees do not qualify for nomination.
