Chapter 81 The Future or the Present (Please Subscribe!)

Speaking of scientific research awards, Arthur instantly thought of the Nobel Prize, which is very famous in later generations.

It covers awards in physics, medicine, chemistry, literature and peace, and is one of the most authoritative and international scientific research awards in later generations.

If Arthur remembers correctly, the famous Nobel Prize in later generations should be officially awarded this year, that is, in 1901.

Although it is not clear when it was, it can be concluded from the response of the European scientific research community that the Nobel Prize has not been awarded so far.

If Arthur acts quickly, he may not be able to create and award his own award before the first Nobel Prize is awarded, replacing the status of the Nobel Prize in later generations.

The Nobel Prize was born according to the will of the famous Swedish chemist, Alfred Bernhard Nobel.

Nobel used most of his inheritance to establish the Nobel Prize. This fund is worth about two million pounds. In this era when the average annual income per capita in Europe is only a few dozen pounds, this fund is a huge sum of money for everyone.

This is also the reason why the Nobel Prize can quickly become one of the awards that attract much attention from the world scientific research community.

Even the winner of the first Nobel Prize could receive a bonus equal to the salary of a senior Swedish professor for 20 years, at least 150,000 Swedish kronor.

Winning a prize can earn you at least 20 years of salary, which is tempting for any normal person, not to mention scientists who are troubled by the funding chain.

"Are there any specific plans?" Arthur asked.

Creating an award is definitely an effective method, especially when the major awards in later generations have not been established and become famous.

As long as a large amount of money can be invested and large-scale publicity can be carried out in Europe. The newly established award will definitely become a sought-after award in the entire European scientific research community in a short period of time.

"Your Highness, our goal is to attract people to Australia, and Australia is currently short of talent in all aspects. Therefore, my suggestion is that we cannot focus only on the scientific research community. As long as the research in other aspects is useful to the country, it is also eligible for awards. We create a more authoritative and orthodox award, and then subdivide it into many small awards in various aspects. Take the form of an annual or semi-annual award to reward all those who have contributed worldwide." Butler Hunter smiled and said, "Believe me, Your Highness. As long as people know that the prize money of the award is higher than their lifetime salary, even an idiot can come up with something."

No one will refuse a large sum of money that they can't earn in their lifetime. Even those scientists who only know scientific research will worry about their lack of research funds and be tempted by this money.

What's more, when the newly established award enjoys a reputation and authority worldwide, the reputation brought by the award will also be a great temptation that people cannot refuse.

The double harvest of fame and fortune is an invincible temptation that no one in the world can refuse.

According to the current per capita income in Europe, the annual income of most civilians is less than 50 pounds.

Those professors and scientists who have made some achievements in scientific research have an annual income of about 100 to 1,000 pounds.

Only those who are particularly capable or have founded their own companies to achieve revenue can increase their annual income to more than 1,000 pounds.

"Good suggestion, Butler Hunter. If I fully support it, when can the award ceremony be officially started?" Arthur nodded and asked with satisfaction.

"Your Highness, Australia is too far away from Europe. It is conservatively estimated that it will take at least half a year, that is, around October, to officially award our awards." Butler Hunter estimated for a while and replied.

Half a year is not a long time. After all, the shortest voyage between Australia and Europe is one month.

But there is also a significant disadvantage in establishing awards in Australia, that is, because it is too far away from Europe, it is difficult to cause a sensation in the whole of Europe.

"Butler Hunter, how about we create an award in Europe first? Creating an award in Europe will allow us to receive applications from scientists more quickly, and it will cause a greater sensation in the European scientific research community. When the award we established has a certain reputation and authority in Europe, we will move the award review agency to Australia." Arthur asked with a smile.

After all, Europe is now the center of the world. If the newly established award wants to quickly gain authority, fame and recognition from others, then creating it in Europe is a good choice.

Australia is still a wild land in the eyes of Europe, and the awards created in Australia are more disadvantaged than those in Europe.

Even if Arthur offers more generous financial rewards than other awards, it is not so easy to gain recognition from the entire European scientific research community.

But creating it in Europe first is different. European awards will be more recognized by Europeans, and the huge financial rewards will accelerate the progress.

When the award created by Arthur becomes an authoritative award recognized by the scientific research community all over the world, even if this award is established in the wild Africa, it will be the most authoritative award.

This is just like the capitalists of later generations, who cater to the public as much as possible during the stage of seizing the market, even at the cost of their own interests.

Once they successfully occupy the market and become the overlord of a certain industry, they will have the final say in the entire market.

At that time, even if all the previous losses are recovered, no one will say no. Because those who are qualified to say no have died in the process of occupying the market, and the rest can only accept it.

"Establishing it in Europe will quickly enhance the reputation of the award we have established, and Europeans will recognize our award more. But our plan to quickly enhance Australia's status in the hearts of scientists has also fallen through. If you want those scientists to immigrate to Australia on their own, I'm afraid we have to wait a few years." Butler Hunter frowned and replied.

This is the problem of having your cake and eating it too. It is a difficult choice to quickly enhance the recognition of the award in the hearts of Europeans, or to immediately use the benefits that the award can bring to Australia to attract more scientists to immigrate to Australia.

Because the first option may not be unable to achieve the benefits of the second option, but the disadvantage is that you have to wait longer.

Australia is now in the golden stage of development, and any time wasted is a heavy loss for Australia.

"That's okay, Steward Hunter. We need to look further ahead. Although in the short term, establishing an award in Australia is more conducive to Australia's immigration attraction plan. But wouldn't it be possible to achieve the same goal by establishing an award in Europe and then moving it here? The changes that a recognized award can bring to Australia are definitely not something that can be brought about by an award established in a hurry. What we need is a large number of immigrants over a long period of time, not a few immigrants in a short period of time, right?" Arthur made the final decision and said with a smile.
