Bernardo Nobile Award, 19th Edition
Area Science Park is announcing the 19th edition of the Bernardo Nobile Award for bachelor’s or doctoral theses, sponsored once again this year by AIDB, with four awards of €2,500 each.
There are four categories for the Award in which you can enter:
- Categories 1 and 2: Bachelor’s or doctoral theses that have utilized and documented the use of patents as a source of information.

- Category 4: Master’s or doctoral thesis focusing on a foresight exercise, forecast, or anticipatory analysis related to technological issues and their economic, political, or social impact in the medium and long term.
The award was established in memory of Dr. Bernardo Nobile, the founder and first director of the PatLib Center at Area Science Park, and has established itself over the years as a tool to encourage and promote young people’s deeper exploration and utilization of the informational potential of patents, research data, and new investigative and analytical techniques and methodologies that enable their interpretation and use.
