Abstract

The Cosmos prize awards Italian books in Physics, Maths, and Astronomy. It aims to promote science outreach and engage young people with science. There are two types of awards: the Cosmos prize awarded by a scientific committee and the Students’ cosmos prize awarded by high school students.

Schools involved receive PDFs of all books and meet the authors. They first organize local debates, followed by a national assembly to select the student prize winner.
