Robert Langer
David H. Koch Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA):
The RUSNANOPRIZE and other similar projects bring the world’s attention to the area of nanotechnology. The recipients become role models for young people who will hopefully make future discoveries in this and other areas.
Dieter Bimberg
Professor, Executive Director of the Center of Nanophotonics, TU Berlin:
Nanoscience and nanotechnologies are novel driving forces for our material science based development of society. By changing just geometrical parameters of matter in the nm-range, without changing the chemistry or adding new, in some cases rare, materials, we can create new properties and opportunities for many different application fields, like catalysis or photonic devices. RUSNANOPRIZE is the most important and most prestigious prize internationally in this area. The Laureates of the prize include Nobel Prize winners and other titans of important research and development.
Christian Fischer
President of Advanced Materials & Systems Research division, BASF (USA):
The RUSNANOPRIZE award underlines impressively the importance of nanotechnology for the development of sustainable solutions to many societal challenges. This is certainly a joint task for academic research and industrial development and commercialization. The award acknowledges these efforts and further motivates excellence in nanotechnology.
RUSNANOPRIZE is a major international award in the “nano” field
