Innovation and scientific research for the future of energy
Since its first edition in 2008, the Eni Award has become a world benchmark in innovation and scientific research. Over the years, the award has evolved with the aim of developing a better use of energy sources, promoting science and technology applied to the environment and encouraging the new generations of researchers.
Again in 2026, Eni Awards will provide three main prizes for Advanced Environmental Solutions, Energy Transition and Energy Frontiers; awards for the Young Researcher of the Year and for Young Talents from Africa; “Eni for Innovation” Recognitions for researchers.
The deadline for applications is November 14th, 2025 (only for “Eni for Innovation” Recognitions the deadline is January 31st, 2026).
Young Researcher of the Year Prize is addressed to graduates born in or after the year 1993 who defended their Doctorate Thesis at an Italian University during 2025 or 2024 on the scientific topics promoted by the Eni Award on energy and the environment. all the details can be found also at the following link: https://www.eni.com/en-IT/strategic-vision/innovation/eni-award.html
