The Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei is the most prestigious Italian and oldest European science academy. It was founded in 1603 in Rome and gained its reputation in part by publishing the books of one of its early members, Galileo Galilei. As the most high-ranking cultural institution in Italy, it functions as an official advisor to the Italian president on issues related to sciences and culture.

 

The Academy presents the Luigi Tartufari prizes to eminent international and Italian scholars. Scholars can be nominated by one of the ordinary members of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei or the Presidents of the Italian and international academies of sciences. This year four prizes in Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences worth 25,000 euros each is awarded.
