Drake Awards 2021 Sponsorship Benefits

About the Drake Awards

The Drake Awards celebrate exemplary contributions to astrobiology through scientific research and space exploration. The award honors Frank Drake, whose Drake Equation first identified the specific factors necessary for the emergence of life in the Universe and the evolution of technological civilizations.

This honor is given at the discretion of the Board of Trustees of the SETI Institute, based on nominations from its Science Advisory Board. The honorees are presented a cash award and trophy, and are invited to describe their research at a public ceremony.
