Details
What Is the Scientific Innovation Award?
As a global industry leader in innovative solutions and technologies, Borealis has already placed sustainability firmly at the core of our business, but we still have work to do.
Each year, we look for pioneering ideas and potential collaboration partners to shape the future of our industry and our planet. We want to hear from bold, disruptive thinkers from the professional and academic scientific communities, from entrepreneurs and start-ups to university researchers, so that together we can re-invent essentials for sustainable living.
Our vision is to lead a sustainable transformation of our industry. Making this a reality will require fresh thinking, so the Award recognizes scientific papers that contribute new ideas to areas of pressing concern.
A panel of high-level Borealis research representatives assesses submissions and chooses the three best ideas from among them which will be honored with the Borealis Scientific Innovation Award.
Keep an eye out for the Borealis Scientific Innovation Award 2025 – all relevant information on how to apply will be published on this website in due course.
