    THE PRIZE 2001 – 2021

    Prior to 2021, we awarded three annual prizes of $1 million each in fields chosen under the rubric of the three time dimensions – past, present and future.

    Looking Back

    Between the years 2001 and 2021, the Dan David Prize recognized and encouraged innovative and interdisciplinary research that cut across traditional boundaries and paradigms.

    Each year, three $1 million prizes were awarded to laureates in different fields, corresponding with the three time dimensions – past, present and future.

    In the past time dimension, laureates who expand knowledge of former times were selected. The present time dimension prize recognized achievements that shape and enrich society. The future time dimension focused on breakthroughs that promised to improve our world.

    Dan David Prize laureates donated 10% of their prize money to postgraduate students in their respective fields, thereby contributing to the community and advancing a new generation of scholars.

    2001 – 2021 LAUREATES

    Before being redesigned in 2021, the Dan David Prize celebrated those who made outstanding contributions to humanity in fields which were selected each year to represent the three time dimensions – past, present and future.
