The NOMIS Distinguished Scientist and Scholar Award honors trailblazing researchers whose insights are transforming our understanding of the world.

Featuring a keynote centered on the inspiring research of a past NOMIS Awardee, the lectures illuminate the pioneering foundational research that is “creating a spark” in the world of science.
