Templeton Prize

The Templeton Prize is an international award given annually to individuals who have made significant contributions to the exploration of spirituality, science, and values. Established in 1972 by Sir John Templeton, the prize recognizes work that bridges the gap between science and religion, promotes a deeper understanding of the universe, or enhances our understanding of the human spirit. It is considered one of the largest annual monetary awards, often exceeding a million dollars, and aims to honor those who expand our appreciation of life’s big questions.
