Rose Dieng-Kuntz Prize

Prize available to recognise research into the impact of digital sciences on humanity and society.

France’s Académie des Sciences (Academy of Sciences) is an independent scholarly society created in 1666. It is one of the five academies within the Institut de France and is dedicated to developing science and advising government on scientific topics.

The Rose Dieng-Kuntz Prize is offered by the Academy and financially supported by Orange. The Prize focuses on digital sciences in the service of humanity and society and aims to reward a scientist under 50 years of age, of any nationality, whose research in digital sciences has a positive and tangible impact on society and collective well-being.

The work contributes, for example, to:

• Promote inclusion, accessibility and autonomy for all.
• Strengthen citizen participation and solidarity.
• Improve health, education or quality of life.
• Reduce the environmental footprint of human activities.
• Develop responsible, ethical and sustainable technologies.

Applications may include a contribution to technological solutions, innovative devices or interdisciplinary scientific approaches, at all stages of maturity (basic research, applied research or transfer to society).
