Breakthrough
The Breakthrough Prize is the world’s largest scientific award, given for major advances in Fundamental Physics, Life Sciences and Mathematics. Laureates receive $3 million and are honored at a globally broadcast award ceremony. The Breakthrough Prizes were founded by Sergey Brin, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, Yuri and Julia Milner, and Anne Wojcicki. https://breakthroughprize.org.
The Breakthrough Junior Challenge is a competition for students, ages 13-18, to share their passion for math and science with the world! https://breakthroughjuniorchallenge.org.
The Breakthrough Initiatives seek scientific evidence of life in the Universe. The first initiative is Breakthrough Listen, the most comprehensive, intensive and sensitive search ever undertaken for artificial signals. The Breakthrough Initiatives were founded by Yuri and Julia Milner as part of their Giving Pledge to support scientific programs and the communication of scientific ideas. https://breakthroughinitiatives.org.
