From 2026 on, the Foundation will present its two award series – the Heineken Prizes and the Heineken Young Scientists Awards – as separate events. By giving each a dedicated platform, the Foundation honours the unique character and social value of both the Heineken Prizes and the Heineken Young Scientists Awards. It also allows for greater visibility and recognition of the awards and their laureates.
The next Heineken Young Scientists Awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 1 October 2026.
The next Heineken Prizes ceremony will be held on Thursday 30 September 2027.
