Awards & Recognition
Nobel Prize
Nobel Prizes are awarded every year in keeping with the will of Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite. They are awarded to people or organizations every 10th of December for outstanding research, inventions or contributions to society.
Eight Nobel Prizes have been awarded to scientists and academics associated with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Fields Medal
The Fields Medal is awarded every four years to mathematicians under 40 years of age at the International Congress of the International Mathematical Union (IMU). Considered one of the highest honors a mathematician can receive, the award has been described as the mathematician's Nobel Prize.
Abel Prize
The Abel Prize is a prestigious prize awarded every year since 2003 by the King of Norway to mathematicians from all over the world whose achievements are extraordinary. The selection is based on the recommendation of a special committee composed of five top internationally-recognized mathematicians. It is considered the most prestigious prize in mathematics, similar to the Nobel Prize.
Wolf Prize
The Wolf Prize is considered the second most important international award after the Nobel Prize. Over 30% of Wolf Prize laureates later received the Nobel Prize in fields that are common to both prizes. Since 1978, five Wolf Prizes have been awarded every year in Agriculture, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Medicine and one of the Arts. The prize is awarded to outstanding scientists and artists, for achievements in the interest of humankind and friendly relations among peoples, regardless of nationality, race, religion, gender or political views. The prize is $100,000.
