McKinsey & Company places great value on the promotion of scientific research. With the support of McKinsey & Company, the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) and the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique FNRS (F.R.S.-FNRS) are able to annually award two scientific prizes recognizing outstanding PhD research in exact sciences, applied sciences, social, economics and management, or biomedical sciences. One scientific prize is awarded to a young researcher from the Flemish Community, and the other to a young researcher from the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. Eligible researchers must demonstrate the social and/or economic relevance or a concrete implementation of their PhD.
