Voting for the USERN Prize 2020 Candidates

🟢 We are proud to organize the USERN Congress and Prize Awarding Festival, for the 5th consecutive year, on November 7-10, 2020; this time in Tehran, Iran: https://userncongress.tums.ac.ir

🟢 Proudly this year, we have nominated over 14,000 eligible candidates and received over 300 merit applications for USERN Prize 2020 in 5 major fields of science: Formal Sciences, Physical and Chemical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Medical Sciences, and Social Sciences.

🟢 After applicants' review at first round of evaluation, by the USERN advisory board members, the top 10 applicants of each field have been selected. The applications have been carefully reviewed and scored by more than 50 top 1% well-known scientists:

🟢 It should be mentioned that the USERN Laureates will finally be selected based on the score of USERN advisers, who are all among top 1% scientists in their field and/or Nobel/Abel Laureates. However, there is a new policy from last year, which we invite all scientists to vote which could be helpful in selecting the top 5 candidates in each field, once the scores are very close to each other. Therefore we would like to invite all USERN members to vote without any conflict of interest:
