below the Call for another prize related to Sustainable Development:
"The Prize aims to recognize exceptional inventors and researchers from prestigious global academic universities, research labs, as well as grassroots inventors who might not be working in a formal research environment. Any research or technological innovation is eligible to be nominated for the Prize if it addresses everyday issues of people, by being aligned with one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations" https://vinfutureprize.org/

PS - Back in 2019 i made a few comments on a provocative question made by senior Professor Paul de Grauwe at London School of Economics "Why top footballers earn much more than top scientists ?". He advised that it was up to politicians to compensate scientists in an adequate manner because the market could not do it. Which is basically the same as waiting indefinitely for politicians to act. Fortunately, private organizations like Gulbenkian Foundation and VinFuture Foundation are doing politicians´s job. https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2019/12/london-school-of-economicswhy-top.html
