Nominations for the 2019 Victoria Prize for Science, Knowledge & Innovation (VESKI) are NOW OPEN and close 2:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday 17 July.  Additional information may be found on Research Professional here.

The 2019 Victoria Prize for Science & Innovation is worth $50,000 per prize and will be awarded to outstanding science leaders, pioneering a scientific discovery or technological innovation, or a series of such achievements that significantly advances knowledge.

Two prizes are available:
  • Life Sciences Prize, which encompasses the branches of science that involve the scientific study of living organisms and their life processes and ecosystems;
  • Physical Sciences Prize, which encompasses the branches of science that study non-living systems.
The field of endeavour may be in pure or applied research, or development.

Australian citizens or permanent residents may be nominated. Nominees must have been residents in Victoria for at least three years prior to the closing date and have performed the major part of the acclaimed work in Victoria. Candidates may be nominated by an individual, a group or a professional association. Self-nominations are not accepted. The prize is normally awarded to an individual, but may be awarded to two individuals in each category if the achievement can be clearly shown to be the outcome of a long-term collaboration.
