The head of the Mustafa(pbuh) Prize scientific committee said: “After five months since the call for the second round of the Mustafa(pbuh) Prize, members of expert committees have started evaluating the works to select their nominees in four different categories of the Mustafa(pbuh) Prize and present their result to the secretariat.

According to the MSTF Media, Hassan Zohoor said the selection process for the second round of the Mustafa(pbuh) Prize has started in four expert committees for life and medical science and technology, information and communication science and technology, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and all other areas of science and technology.

“This April, the call for the second round of the Mustafa(pbuh) Prize was initiated within the Islamic world where 700 scientists, 200 accredited scientific institutions, and all universities of Iran were invited to propose their nominees to the secretariat in the fields pertinent to the Mustafa(pbuh) Prize,” Zohoor said.

Asked about the selection process, he added: “At first, the committees start screening the works received by the secretariat and propose the list of selected works to final Jury Committees. Following this, the final proposal will be submitted to the secretariat and finally the works receiving the highest votes from the Jury committees are announced as laureates of the Mustafa(pbuh) Prize.

It is worth noting that the award ceremony for the second round of the Mustafa(pbuh) Prize will be held in Tehran in December, 2017, concurrent with the the birthday of the Holy Prophet of Islam(pbuh), where laureates will receive the prize in the fields of life and medical science and technology, information and communication science and technology, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and all other areas of science and technology.
