Since 2003 FEEM supports Eni by coordinating the Scientific Secretariat of the Eni Award, known worldwide as one of the most important scientific prizes in the energy and environment field.

The Eni Award, formerly known as Italgas Prize, is promoted by Eni for the national and international scientific community involved in basic and applied research, whose goal is to develop a better use of energy sources, to promote research on the environment and to stimulate young researchers.

Eni Award assigns three main prizes: New Frontiers of Hydrocarbons; Renewable and non conventional Energy; Environment protection and two Debut in research prizes, for students that have attained their Ph.D.s at an Italian university.

In the last three editions the number of candidates increased by over 300%, going from 128 in 2007 to 435 in 2008, which shows Eni Award’s great success in the scientific community.

The prize's bodies are: the Promoting Committee, the Initial Evaluation Commission; the Scientific Commission and the Innovation Commission.
