The Trevisan Prize for outstanding work in the Theory of Computing is sponsored by the Department of Computing Sciences at Bocconi University and the Italian Academy of Sciences.
The prize is named in honor of Luca Trevisan in recognition of his major contributions to the Theory of Computing. It aims to recognize outstanding work in the field, and to broaden the reach of awards both in terms of research areas and recognition of individuals.
The prize is biennial (given once every two years) and consists of two prizes, given to:
- A mid-career scientist whose work has had a significant and lasting impact
- An early-career scientist whose work has demonstrated exceptional promise
In addition to the one-time monetary prize, the Italian Academy of Sciences will contribute a commemorative statue, presented to the winners as a symbol of their excellence.
The prize ceremony will take place at Bocconi University, where the winners will be asked to give public lectures (three in total):
- Mid-career awardee: one scientific lecture and one lecture aimed at a general audience
- Early-career awardee: one scientific lecture
