Candidates must meet at least one of the following qualifications:

significance for the development of scientific thought.

Science and Technology to industry or to human well-being in a developing

accepted only if it bears substantially new elements for judgement. Members of

On behalf of the TWAS Council, I invite you to nominate qualified candidates to
be considered for these prizes.
To this purpose I enclose herewith the 2010 nomination form together with a
