Evaluations are carried out using a standardized form specific to each award category. 

Two-stage assessment process: 

  • External Evaluator opinions 
  • Internal Evaluation Panel assessment 

At least 3 internationally recognized field experts are consulted.

External evaluator opinions are gathered through a structured, standardized format. 

In the evaluation process, no distinction is made between candidates who were nominated and those who applied on their own.

Only research conducted at Sabancı University, along with its associated outputs, will be taken into consideration.

If applications are insufficient or criteria are unmet, no award will be granted for that category.

Only one individual is planned to be awarded per category. But the number may increase if candidates are equally qualified.
