The Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology is awarded once a year by the Inamori Foundation. The Prize is one of three Kyoto Prize categories; the others are the Kyoto Prize in Basic Sciences and the Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy. The first Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology was awarded to Rudolf E. Kálmán, the "creator of modern control and system theory". The Prize is widely regarded as the most prestigious award available in fields which are traditionally not honored with a Nobel Prize.

Fields

The Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology is awarded on a rotating basis to researchers in the following four fields:

  • Electronics
  • Biotechnology and Medical Technology
  • Materials Science and Engineering
  • Information Science
