The Académie des sciences and the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) of Taiwan award a Scientific Prize every year to a team of researchers (one from a Taiwanese institution and one from a French institution) for their scientific contributions and achievements, and their on-going commitment to pursue and expand them.

The total amount of the Prize is 40,000€ to be equally shared between the laureates.

In addition, laureates will be invited to participate in a program allowing them to apply annually for a mobility grant, which can be used for themselves or a member of their research team to further enhance scientific exchange.

Laureates will receive their Award during the séance solennelle of the Académie des sciences in Paris on November 25, 2025. The following day (November 26, 2025), they would be invited to present their research during a ceremony co-organized by the Académie des sciences and the National Science and Technology Council.
