Marking the 26th anniversary this year, the prize has been funded by Samsung Group to honor distinguished Koreans and foreign nationals for their contribution to enhance science, culture and the welfare of mankind.
The foundation was set up in memory of the group’s late founder Lee Byung-chull. His penname was Ho-Am.
A total of 38 experts and academics, including Israeli Nobel laureate scientist Dan Shechtman, participated in this year’s evaluation committee, while a 37-member advisory group reviewed the whole process.
The award ceremony will be held in Seoul on June 1. Each winner will be given 300 million won ($260,000) as prize money.
