Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Vyzov Foundation for the Development of Scientific and Cultural Relations: 

"I am delighted to announce the launch of the third season of the VYZOV Prize. This scientific award enjoyed great success in previous years. We note with pleasure the great interest of the international academic community, since we have received applications from researchers representing 33 foreign states. Scientific achievements in the international category and many other initiatives have proven their efficiency. I am confident that during the third season of the VYZOV Prize we will discover new 

scientists and their groundbreaking discoveries."

Artem Oganov, Chairman of the Scientific Committee, VYZOV Prize: 

"We are excited to launch the third season of the VYZOV Prize, an award that burst into the world of science and quickly moved to the fore. Many people are wondering about the secret behind this award that has become so popular in Russia and other countries in just two years. The answer is simple: the work of our Scientific Committee is based on the principles of complete impartiality and professional integrity. Scientific awards make sense only if they are honest. The same, by the way, applies to science in general."

Leonid Shlyakhover, President of the Vyzov Foundation for the Development of Scientific and Cultural Relations, General Producer of the VYZOV Prize Awards Ceremony: 

"We are noting the growing interest in the VYZOV Prize which demonstrates that the award is highly appreciated by the academic community. This year, we anticipate an increase in the number of applications and an expansion of geographical reach. The highlight of this season will be the "Week with Vyzov" project in December, 2025. Once we announce the names of this year’s laureates at the final press conference, winners of previous years will deliver a series of lectures at Moscow's leading research centers. The season will conclude with the VYZOV Prize Awards Ceremony, which will, as custom has it, take place at the Moscow Manege on December 19th, 2025."

Anatoly Garbuzov, Minister of the Moscow City Government and Head of the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy: 

"The VYZOV Prize is one of the crucial tools for supporting cutting-edge scientific advancements. Last year, the award was given to Evgeny Antipov and his project in the field of batteries for electric vehicles. The development of such technologies has strategic implications for Moscow – it is yet another step towards a sustainable and energy-efficient city of the future. We firmly believe that fostering science and innovation will help us implement the best projects in the urban environment and improve the quality of life for our citizens. That is why Moscow Government consistently increases its financial contribution to the award: in 2023, the funding was capped at 50 million rubles, and this year it has increased to 60 million rubles.

Dmitry Zauers, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Gazprombank, Board Member of the Vyzov Foundation: "Currently, our country's top priority is to transfer knowledge to the economy. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure new ways of cooperation between the state, scientific community, and business. For three years in a row, the VYZOV Prize helps achieve this goal by popularizing science and promoting the image of a scientist as the hero of our time. Gazprombank has co-founded the award and continues to support the Vyzov Foundation because we are convinced that talented individuals play a key role in achieving technological leadership and that we need to invest in them. The growing interest in the VYZOV Prize, particularly from international academic community, proves the significance of discoveries made by our scientists and our aspiration for technological leadership and economic growth."
