TWAS Prize is an annual award instituted in 1985 by The World Academy of Sciences to recognize excellence in scientific research in the global South.[1][note 1] At inception, the award was titled TWAS Awards in Basic Sciences and was awarded in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics categories but was merged with the TWNSO (Third World Network of Scientific Organizations) Prizes in Applied Sciences in 2003 to form the present-day TWAS Prize, which is awarded in nine categories viz. Agricultural Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Engineering Sciences, Mathematics, Medical Sciences, Physics and Social Sciences.[2] The award carries a plaque and a cash prize of US$ 15000[3] and is open to scientists living and working in a developing country.[4]
