About the Khwarizmi International Award

The Khwarizmi International Award is a vital initiative that highlights the importance of a robust scientific and technological foundation for the economic development of nations. Following the Islamic Revolution, there was a growing emphasis on advancing science and technology within Iran.

In 1987, the Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST), which operates under the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, established this prestigious award. The award was created in honor of the remarkable Iranian mathematician and astronomer, Abu Jafar Mohammad Ibn Mousa Khwarizmi (770-840 C.E.), whose contributions to mathematics and science are well-remembered.
