The Gruber Prize is an international award that recognizes outstanding achievements in the fields of cosmology, genetics, and justice. Established in 2000 by the Gruber Foundation, the prize aims to honor individuals whose work has significantly advanced our understanding of these areas. Each recipient receives a gold medal and a monetary award.
The prize is named after Peter Gruber, a philanthropist and entrepreneur, who sought to promote scientific and social progress through this initiative. The award is presented annually, and past winners include prominent scientists and advocates who have made impactful contributions to their respective fields.
