The selection of the laureates of the Heineken Prizes and the Heineken Young Scientists Awards is entrusted to an independent jury. All jury members are leading experts in their field of science.

The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), which has been involved from the start of the prizes in 1964, does not have a guiding role in the jury process for this edition. The Foundations are keen to continue honouring science and art within the current structure, using independent juries.
