The Rose Dieng-Kuntz Prize recognizes scientists under 50 whose digital-sciences research has a tangible positive impact on society and collective well-being through an award open to candidates of any nationality.

The call presents digital sciences as a means of addressing major contemporary challenges, including economic development, education, the environment, health, social inclusion, civic engagement and solidarity. Recognized research may promote inclusion, accessibility and independence; strengthen civic engagement and solidarity; improve health, education and quality of life; reduce the environmental footprint of human activities; or develop responsible, ethical and sustainable technologies.

Contributions may include technological solutions, innovative devices or interdisciplinary scientific approaches at any stage, from basic or applied research to transfer to society. The prize is endowed with €30,000, funded by Orange and entrusted to the French Academy of Sciences.

Nominees must be under 50 on January 1 of the award year; the age limit increases by one year for each child, for women and men alike. Candidates must not be candidates or nominees for another Academy of Sciences award in the same year. There are no nationality requirements.

Nominations must be submitted by a laboratory director, the head of an institution or a Member of the Academy of Sciences; direct applications are not accepted. The file must include the application form, a one-page letter of support, a CV of no more than one page, up to two pages on the candidate’s key scientific results, and a one-page list of up to five main publications with brief comments and links to open-access archives.
