In recognition of the crucial role of Science and Technology (S&T) towards social and economic development, the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) has, over the years, diversified and increased its assistance to its member countries in this area.

Three prizes are awarded on annual basis to reward achievements in the following three categories: (i) outstanding science & technology contribution to social and economic development; (ii) excellence in a given scientific specialty; and (iii) best performing S&T center in a least developed member country. Each Prize consists of a cash award of US$ 100,000 and a trophy.
