ICTP
Leonardo Building - Budinich Lecture Hall
Strada Costiera 11 34151 Trieste Italy
ICTP and IBM have established an annual prize for outstanding young researchers working in AI for Science/Science for AI. The prize, worth €10,000, is supported by a five-year sponsorship by IBM and has been established to promote research focusing on approaches to AI and science that can benefit the society at large. This effort contributes to the ultimate goal of the AI Alliance, a global organization launched in December 2023 by IBM and Meta, which ICTP has also joined, to accelerate responsible open innovation in AI while ensuring safety, security, and trust.
The prize ceremony will take place every year at ICTP, during a two-week conference and summer school on AI.

The 2025 ICTP-IBM Brahmagupta Artificial Intelligence Prize for Early Career Scientists is awarded to Professor Simon Olsson of Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, “for his pioneering work on the use of Artificial Intelligence methods in molecular simulations, overcoming long-standing computational problems in statistical mechanics, with translational impact on drug discovery and vaccine design.”
The award honours Indian mathematician and astronomer Brahmagupta, known for his important contributions to mathematics. In particular, he was the first to consider zero as a number and for introducing negative numbers.
All are welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be served after the event.
The Ceremony will also be livestreamed, CLICK HERE to see the live streaming.
