A Prize for Innovation in Meteorology
A substantial part of the national gross product in many countries is weather dependent. National weather services and the private sector have been innovative for more than a century to make better use of our meteorological knowledge. However, large gains are still to be made and the prize encourages individuals and groups to come with ideas how meteorology in a practical way can further move society forward. Meteorology can make society safer, can deliver costs savings and can bring more welfare to large groups of people.
The Prize
The prize will be rewarded for the first time in 2012 and from 2013 onwards every two years. The winner of the prize will receive €25,000 in cash and it is also foreseen to grant a lower amount to the second and third prize. Winners will retain full rights to their ideas but when wanted help is offered to realize the winning ideas.
Evaluation of applications
The submission deadline to file applications for the Harry Otten Prize has passed on January 15th 2012. The jury thanks all participants and is now evaluating the proposals.
