According to the Organizing Committee, the nominations will be evaluated through a strict screening and selection process by the Preliminary Council and the VinFuture Award Council, gathering leading scientists in the world, including the owners of prestigious scientific awards such as Nobel, Turing, Millennium Technology,...
The judging work is expected to be completed in September 2026 and the VinFuture season 6 award ceremony will be held in early December 2026. Nominations sent after April 17, 2026 will be automatically transferred to review for the 2027 season.
In order to provide information and strengthen connections with the global nomination partner community, VinFuture Fund will organize 2 online seminars in the first quarter of 2026 with the participation and sharing of representatives of the Award Council, Preliminary Council and VinFuture Awardholders. The first seminar will take place at 8:00 AM on January 26, 2026 (Hanoi time).
In 2026, VinFuture will also continue to implement the "Gratitude to Nominated Partners" program to recognize the important contributions of scientists in identifying and nominating scientific and technological works and solutions that have a positive impact on humanity for the VinFuture Award 2026.
After 5 consecutive successful seasons, the VinFuture Award has affirmed its strong spread in the global science and technology community, with a total of 6,132 nominations from nearly 110 countries and territories, honoring 48 outstanding scientists with works that have brought profound and sustainable impacts to humanity.
Many projects honored by VinFuture are also associated with important milestones of human progress, from global network technology, PERC solar panels, Lithium-ion battery storage technology, artificial intelligence to essential fields such as sustainable agriculture, healthcare and environment. VinFuture's nomination network has reached nearly 15,000 scientists worldwide.
Dr. Le Thai Ha - Executive Director of VinFuture Fund shared: "After 5 years of formation and development, VinFuture has gradually affirmed its position as one of the world-class scientific awards, where outstanding scientific values are honored associated with social responsibility and the long-term interests of humanity.
Stepping into the 2026 season, we expect the nominations to continue to show that science and technology is the key to solving global challenges comprehensively. From there, promote breakthrough solutions, capable of widespread application and creating positive and sustainable impacts on a global scale”.
With international stature and prestige, the VinFuture Award has contributed to making Vietnam a gathering place for knowledge and global scientific cooperation. Many VinFuture partners have come to Vietnam to participate in academic exchange activities, share professional experiences and strengthen connections with the domestic scientific community.
Typical examples include Professor Aldo Steinfeld - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) - Owner of the SolarPACES 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award; Professor Kurt Kremer - Honorary Director of Max Planck Polymer Research Institute (Germany); Professor Chuanbin Mao - Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (China) belonging to the Top 2% of scientists most cited in the world in the field of biomedical engineering,...
Through the VinFuture network, many Vietnamese scientists also approach and connect with world scientists, proactively working with the international community to build a sustainable future for Vietnam and humanity.
