The Infosys Science Foundation (ISF) announces six winners of the Infosys Prize 2026 across categories including engineering and computer science, with recognition for research areas such as climate change, law and quantum technology. Each winner receives a gold medal, a citation and a prize purse of $100,000 or its equivalent in INR.
ISF says it received 222 applications across six categories, with the highest number coming from the ‘Engineering and Computer Science’ category. The prize is framed as encouraging early recognition of talented researchers below 40 years of age. The reported work highlights a mix of disciplines, ranging from technology-focused research to themes linked with climate change.
Across outlets, the coverage largely agrees on the number of winners, the total applications, and the core components of the award. Differences are mainly in emphasis: some outlets foreground the overall list of winners, while others highlight particular themes among the recognized researchers or provide additional context on the prize’s intent and age eligibility.
