<biogHist>
<abstract>The Victoria Prize for Science and Innovation has been awarded by the State of Victoria since 1998 to recognise leadership, determination and creativity, highlighting the many ways in which research and development of international significance occurs in Victoria. It is awarded to Victorian scientists, innovators, entrepreneurs or researchers in life and physical sciences, for scientific discoveries or technological innovations which significantly advance knowledge and have clear potential to produce a commercial outcome or other substantial benefit to the community. Since 2012 two prizes have been awarded, in the life sciences and physical sciences. Recipients receive $25,000 in each category. Between 2012 and 2022 the Prize was administered for the Victorian Government by Veski, an organisation established in 2004 to enhance Victoria's intellectual capital through fellowships, awards, and leadership programs.</abstract>
