2026 Rothschild Prize
The 2026 Rothschild Prize Symposium will be held at the National Library of Israel
on October 26 2026, 8:30-17:00
In 1959, Yad Hanadiv established the Rothschild Prize to support, encourage, and advance the Sciences and Humanities in Israel. In 2026, the Prize was awarded to six laureates in recognition of outstanding achievements in three categories - Humanities, Social Sciences, and, for the first time, the Arts.
ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
The Rothschild Prizes Symposium is designed to generate discussion about the impact of the recipients’ work in their respective fields of study, and introduce young scholars to high levels of scientific achievement in Israel.
The one-day event will include a panel discussion with the 2026 Prize winners and breakout sessions in honour of the recipients.
Science poster presentations will run in parallel with the main conference programme.
