The Dan David Prize, endowed by the Dan David Foundation and headquartered at Tel Aviv University, recognises and encourages innovative and interdisciplinary research that cuts across traditional boundaries and paradigms.

The prizes are granted to individuals or institutions with proven, exceptional, distinct excellence in the sciences, arts, and humanities that have made an outstanding contribution to humanity on the basis of merit.
Three prizes of S$ 1 million each are awarded, to be shared by the laureates, for fields chosen within the three Time Dimensions – Past, Present and Future. Ten percent of the award is donated as scholarships to doctoral and post-doctoral students doing research in one of the selected fields.
