Global Energy Prize awarded to ITER collaborators PDF Print E-mail
The Global Energy Prize for 2006 has been awarded to Academician Evgeny Velikhov (Russia), Doctor Masaji Yoshikawa  (Japan), and Doctor Robert Aymar (France) "or the development of scientific and engineering foundation for building the International Thermonuclear Reactor (ITER project)".   This is important recognition of the long and difficult effort that has been required to take the ITER proposal from discussion to large-scale international collaboration.  It also recognizes the important role that ITER plays in providing an alternative energy path for the future.

The Global Energy International Prize is a unique award intended to assist international cooperation in solving the most important current problems in the field of power generation.  The award was suggested by a group of Russian scientists headed Nobel laureate  Zhores Alferov and endowed in 2002 by three large Russian energy firms.  The total award in 2006 will be approximately $1.1M to be divided among the three participants

The Prize is awarded annualy for scientific achievements in the following spheres:
