Dear Dr. F.  Pacheco-Torgal,

With great pleasure, I would like to share with you that when the 2022 VinFuture Prize Call for Nominations completed on May 17th, we received 970 nominations from more than 70 countries across 6 continents, with very high quality and reasonable distribution for all 4 prize categories. These nominations are now being reviewed by the VinFuture Pre-Screening Committee and Prize Council. The VinFuture Prize Laureates of 2022 will be announced and awarded on December 20th this year and we will keep you informed of the results.
