| Kyoto Prize - Japanese Annual Award |
|
The Kyoto Prize is awarded annually since 1984 in the
fields of Advanced Technology, Basic Sciences and Arts and Philosophy.
Within each broad category, the prize rotates among subfields, e.g. the
technology prize rotates across electronics, biotechnology, materials
science and engineering, and information science. The prize was endowed by
the Inamori Foundation with 20 billion yen and Kyocera stock. Kazuo Inamori
was the founder of Kyocera. The prize is rising in prestige as it covers
fields not often awarded Nobel Prizes. |
