PROMOTING SCIENCE
New Zealand’s success rests on our ability to make the best use of our scientific expertise. Yet the achievements of our scientists often go unrecognised.
That’s why, today, I was pleased to launch the Prime Minister’s Prizes for Science. The prizes were another election promise. The Government will provide $1 million a year across five prizes to help lift the prestige of science and attract more young people into science careers.
There will be five categories of prizes:
- The Prime Minister’s Science Prize – $500,000
- The Prime Minister’s MacDiarmid Young Scientist of the Year Prize – $150,000
- The Prime Minister’s Future Scientist Prize – $50,000
- The Prime Minister’s Science Teacher Prize – $50,000 to the teacher and $100,000 to their school
- The Prime Minister’s Science Media Communications Prize – $150,000
