What is the process for evaluating nominations?
Nominations are invited through an open nomination call, which extends through mid-August. The nominations are publicized in North America, Europe and Asia. In past years, nominations were received from about 15 countries over the world. The nominations are screened by a team of graduate students and young professionals in and around MIT and further evaluated by a distinguished panel of judges. Awardees are felicitated in a ceremony held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the end of the year.
