Wolf Prize

Since 1978, The Wolf Foundation has awarded the acclaimed Wolf Prize, awarded annually to outstanding scientists and artists worldwide, regardless of nationality, race, color, religion, gender, or political views, for achievements in the benefit of humanity.

The scientific categories of the prize include Medicine, Agriculture, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics. The Prize's art categories include Painting and Sculpting, Music, and Architecture. The prize laureates are selected by international Jury Committees which comprise world-renowned candidates.

The prize in each field consists of a certificate and a monetary award of $100,000. To date, over 380 scientists and artists from around the globe have been honored. The prize presentation takes place by the beginning of June, at a special ceremony at the Knesset (Israel's Parliament), in Jerusalem
Wolf Prizes in various fields are considered the most prestigious awards after the Nobel Prize, and many Wolf Prize winners have gone on to win a Nobel Prize.
