The nomination process for the 2012 WISE Prize is now open. This global award recognizes an individual or a team for an outstanding, world-class contribution to education. It raises international awareness of education's crucial role in all societies, and gives it similar prestige to other areas for which there are major international prizes.
WISE welcomes nominations for the 2012 Laureate from individuals and institutions with a demonstrable commitment to education. Nominations will be evaluated by the WISE Prize Committee, which will make a pre-selection.
An international jury of distinguished individuals will make the final selection of the Laureate, whose name will be announced at the 2012 WISE Summit, November 13-15, in Doha, Qatar. The winner will receive $500,000 (US) and a specially designed gold medal.
