Call for nominations for 1 Million Dollars Prize for the "2015 Eric and Sheila Samson Prime Minister’s Prize for Innovation in Alternative Fuels for Transportation" through the Ministry of Science, Technology and Space of Israel in cooperation with the Fuel Choices Initiative.
The deadline for nominations (open to citizens of any country) is on March 16, 2015.
The Government of the State of Israel considers the research, development and integration of technologies reducing global use of petroleum in transportation to be an international mission. Thus, in 2011, the Israeli government, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, initiated the National Program to Reduce the Global Dependence on Oil, with an aim of encouraging global innovation and scientific and technical breakthroughs in the field of alternative transportation fuels.
The prize will be awarded for global innovation or a scientific or technological breakthrough in the field of alternative fuels for transportation. Nominees for the prize should be actively engaged in innovative, paradigm-shifting research in this field that is worthy of significant and widespread attention and recognition.
