Future Science Prize

The Future Science Prize (未來科學大獎) is a scientific award established in January 2016 by the Future Forum, a non-profit organization based in mainland China. It is awarded to outstanding scientists independently of their nationality, working on three main topics: life sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics and computer science (since 2017).

The prize comes with a reward of ¥6500000 (approximately USD$1 million).

Nomination is by invitation only, and the review and final decision is taken by a scientific committee.

The award has sometimes been called "China's Nobel Prize" by the media.
