Calling All Researchers!The Breakthrough Research Prize, managed by 2degrés, is a national call to action designed to galvanize Canada’s most brilliant minds in the fight against the climate crisis.
By spotlighting and funding bold, high-impact research, the Prize accelerates the development of transformational climate solutions—those capable of shifting systems, not just improving them.
It supports and celebrates the best and brightest not-for-profit researchers and mission-driven organizations across Canada, providing both critical funding and national recognition at a pivotal moment for climate innovation.
The Breakthrough Research Prize exists to de-risk early-stage ideas, unlock scientific ambition, and propel breakthrough research from concept to real-world impact—ensuring that Canada remains a global leader in climate solutions when it matters most.
