The Heineken Prizes are international prizes awarded every other year to five internationally renowned scientists ($200.000 each) and one highly talented Dutch visual artist (€100.000) for their great merits to science, Dutch art and society.
Fifty years ago, in 1964, the prestigious Dr H.P Heineken Prize for Biochemistry and Biophysics was introduced. In later years, more Heineken Prizes were added: the Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for Art (1988), Medicine (1989), Environmental Sciences (1990) and History (1990), and the C.L. de Carvalho-Heineken Prize for Cognitive Science (introduced in 2006 and formerly known as the Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for Cognitive Science).
Homage
The Heineken Prizes were initiated by Dr Alfred H. Heineken (1923-2002) in homage to his father (Dr Henry P. Heineken, 1886-1971) and continued by his daughter, Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken (1954). Mrs de Carvalho is Chair of the Dr H.P. Heineken Foundation and the Alfred Heineken Fondsen Foundation, which fund all the Heineken Prizes.
Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences
Heineken Prizes are awarded every two years. The winners are selected by juries composed of members of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. The scientific Heineken Prizes are $200,000 each. The Heineken Prize for Art is €100,000, of which €50,000 is to be spent on a publication or exhibition. Young Scientists Awards are €10,000 each.
