Professor Carolyn Bertozzi of Stanford University, Professor Barry Sharpless works in Scripps Research and Professor Morten Meldal works at the University of Copenhagen for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.

Ales Bialiatski for the democratic movement that emerged in Belarus in the mid-1980s, Memorial for their actions to ensure that the victims of the communist regime's oppression are not forgotten and Ukraine's Center for Civil Liberties for taking a stand to make Ukraine a full-fledged democracy.
