Bright Science Awards

Nurturing science and innovation

Studying the challenges ...and delivering solutions

There are many definitions and sub-definitions of what science really means. At DSM it’s about looking at the world we live in, studying the challenges we face…and delivering answers and solutions that benefit people, planet – and of course profit. It’s this belief that underpins the DSM Bright Science Awards.

Open to PhD graduates as well as seasoned scientists all over the world, in everything from human and animal nutrition to materials science, our awards are intended to ensure that we all continue to benefit from bright science.
