"This prize will accelerate breakthrough innovations by the Indian scientific community", said Natarajan Chandrasekaran, Chairman of the Board of Tata Sons. "We hope this prize will help bring the transformational work of Indian scientists to light, reward them appropriately, and encourage them in taking solutions to market. The Tata Transformation Prize is one small way in which we will promote science and scientists to solve India's national problems". Applicants must be active researchers with a doctoral degree or equivalent who work at an eligible Indian university, institute, or other research organisation. Applicants must propose technologies that address food security, sustainability, or healthcare challenges using digital and technological
transformation. Scientists whose proposed innovations reimagine traditional practises and business models, transform technological paradigms, improve public trust, and promote an open and connected world will be the prize winners.
"Path breaking research takes place in India, resulting in important advances in science around the world", said Professor Nicholas Dirks, President and CEO of the New York Academy of Sciences. "This prize is focused not only on science, but on innovative discoveries that put science to work for the betterment of society, to solving major global challenges in three core areas. We are so pleased to be working with Tata, and Chairman N. Chandrasekaran, to support scientific and technical innovation in India. It will also raise national and international awareness of India's strengths in scientific research and development". The Tata Transformation Prize is the latest in a series of prestigious awards and scholarship programmes presented each year by the Academy and its partners to accomplished early-career and established scientists worldwide. These initiatives, as well as education and professional development programmes for students and young scientists, reflect the Academy's broader commitment to strengthening and diversifying the global pipeline of skilled and talented scientists.
