Milan, 10th November 2026 – Today, at Palazzo Invernizzi, Fondazione Invernizzi has announced that its prestigious research award is back.
After over 20 years, the historic “Italian Nobel Prize” is back with the ambition of once again taking its place amongst Europe’s leading research awards.
2027 edition will go global, focusing on “Microbiomes for agriculture” for researchers under 50 worldwide.
At the presentation, Prof. Giuseppe Bertoni, President of Fondazione Invernizzi, has pointed out the core vision:
“By relaunching the Invernizzi Award, we aim to support research that can generate knowledge and turn it into practical solutions. Microbiomes bring together agriculture, the environment, health and food security. Through this Award, we aim to provide researchers with the resources and opportunities needed to advance their work and make a real impact.”
The conference has also featured Prof. Christine H. Foyer (University of Birmingham), a member of the International Scientific Jury, who has spoken about how the health and wellbeing of plants, humans and the environment are interconnected and depend on close interaction with microbial communities to shape the future of agri-food systems.
