About the Prize

The UNESCO-Al Fozan International Prize for the Promotion of Young Scientists in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) aims to boost research, education, and global cooperation to tackle challenges aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Established by UNESCO in 2021 in partnership with the Al–Fozan Foundation in Saudi Arabia, the Prize recognizes young innovators whose work drives global socio-economic progress, while encouraging interest in science, particularly among women and girls, to foster gender equality and promote scientific careers.

Awarded biennially to five laureates from the five geographic regions of UNESCO (Africa, Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and North America and Latin America and the Caribbean), the Prize includes $50,000, a medal, and a diploma for each winner. The UNESCO-Al Fozan International Prize aligns with UNESCO's focus on gender equality, aiming to inspire more women to pursue STEM careers. 

2025 edition

For the second edition of this biennial prize, five outstanding young scientists will be honored at a ceremony to be held on 19 September at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France.

The event will gather participants to celebrate the announcement of the five laureates, recognized for their remarkable research, innovative achievements, and unwavering commitment to advancing STEM disciplines. Their pioneering work highlights both their exceptional talent and the promise they represent for the future of science and technology.
