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

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

If Arthur remembers correctly, the famous Nobel Prize would have been awarded this year, in 1901.

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

If Arthur had acted quickly, he would not have been able to create and award his own prize before the first Nobel Prize was awarded, replacing the status of the Nobel Prize in later generations.

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

Nobel spent most of his legacy on the establishment of the Nobel Prize, which was worth about two million pounds, a huge amount of money for everyone at a time when European per capita income was only a few dozen pounds a year.

This is also the reason why the Nobel Prize has quickly become one of the most eye-catching awards in the world's scientific research community.

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

If you win an award, you can get at least 20 years of your salary, as long as you are a normal person, let alone those scientists who are troubled by the financial chain.

"Do you have any specific plans?" Arthur asked.

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

As long as you can invest a lot of money and carry out large-scale propaganda in Europe. The newly established award will definitely become a sought-after award for the entire European research community in a short period of time.

"Your Highness, our aim is to attract people to Australia, which is currently scarce in all aspects. Therefore, my suggestion is that we should not only look at the scientific community, but also be eligible for awards as long as it is research that is useful to the country. We create a more authoritative and orthodox award, and then break it down into many smaller awards in various aspects. It is promulgated annually or semi-annually to reward all those who have contributed worldwide. Butler Hunt smiled and said, "Trust me, Your Highness. As long as people learn that the prize money is higher than their lifetime salary, even an idiot can come up with something. ”

No one would refuse a large sum of money that they would not earn in their lifetime. Even scientists who only know about scientific research are tempted by the fear that their research is underfunded.

What's more, when the newly established award is famous and authoritative all over the world, the fame brought by the award is also 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, most civilians earn less than fifty pounds a year.

Professors and scientists who have made a little success in scientific research also earn between 100 and 1,000 pounds a year.

Only those who are particularly capable, or who have started their own companies to generate revenue, can raise their annual income to more than £1,000.

"Nice offer, Steward Hunt. If I'm fully supportive, when will the award be officially announced? Arthur nodded, satisfied.

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

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

But there is also a significant disadvantage of establishing an award in Australia, which is that it is too far away from Europe to make a splash across Europe.

"Butler Hunter, why don't we create an award in Europe first? The creation of an award in Europe, the faster the application from those scientists, the stronger the sensation in the European research community. Once the awards we set up have gained some prestige and authority in Europe, we are moving our awards review body to Australia. Arthur asked with a smile.

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

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

Even if Arthur were to come up with a more generous financial award than other awards, it would not be easy to gain recognition from the entire European research community.

But it's not the same to create it in Europe first. European awards will be recognized by Europeans, and huge financial awards will accelerate the progress.

When Arthur's award became an authoritative award recognized by the scientific community around the world, even if it was set up in the savage Africa, it was the most authoritative award.

This is the same as the capitalists of later generations, who cater to the people as much as possible in the stage of seizing the market, even if they do not hesitate to lose their own interests.

After successfully occupying the market and becoming the overlord of a certain industry, the entire market will be up to him.

When the time comes, even if you get back all the losses you have lost before, no one will say no. Because he is qualified to say no, he has died in the process of occupying the market, and the rest can only be resigned.

"Having a presence in Europe will quickly raise the profile of the awards we have established, and Europeans will recognise our awards even more. But our plans to quickly raise Australia's place in the hearts and minds of scientists have come to naught. It will take a few years for those scientists to immigrate to Australia on their own. Steward Hunter frowned and replied.

That's the problem of having both sides of the world. It is a difficult choice whether to quickly increase the recognition of the prize in the hearts of Europeans, or to immediately use the benefits that the award can bring to Australia and attract more scientists to Australia.

Because the first option does not necessarily fail to realize the benefits of the second option, but the disadvantage is that you have to wait longer.

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

"It's okay, Steward Hunter. We need to take a long-term view. Although in the short term, it seems that the establishment of awards in Australia is more conducive to Australia's immigration attraction scheme. But is it not the same to set up an award in Europe and then relocate there? The difference that a recognised award can bring to Australia is definitely not something that can be brought about by a hastily established award. What we need is a large number of immigrants over a long period of time, not a few immigrants for a short period of time, don't we? Arthur made the final decision, smiling.

The second more, ask for support! Still a little uncomfortable, I don't know what's going on. I'll try to write another chapter, begging for support!
