The Frontiers Research Foundation invites submissions for its Frontiers Planet Prize, a global competition for scientists and research institutions to propose solutions to help the planet remain within the safe operating space of any one or more of the 9 planetary boundaries.

Launched on Earth Day 2022, the prize aims to mobilize nations and the global community of scientists conducting research on earth system science as well as to recognize and reward exceptional scientists. Three prizes worth a total of CHF 3 million (~USD $3.2m) will be awarded in this third edition, to the world’s most innovative sustainability scientists who are able to offer globally scalable solutions which protect and restore planetary health. All domains of science will be considered.

The Planet Prize will honour research published in established peer-reviewed scientific journals in the past two calendar years (date of acceptance: 1 November 2022 to 31 October 2024) that has the greatest potential to help keep the Earth system within planetary boundaries. All submitted research must be in English.
