It was named after Nobel Prize laureate Dennis Gabor. The award acknowledged individuals whose work demonstrated significant impact in applied science and innovation.

Each award included a 160 cm-diameter pure silver medal with a hologram of Dennis Gabor’s portrait, a charter of honor, and a monetary prize. [1] [2] It was typically granted to both a Hungarian and a non-Hungarian researcher. It was awarded approximately every three years, depending on the selection process and candidate pool. The award aimed to identify researchers with a similarly successful career path as Dennis Gabor. Due to the award's prestige and the broad research area covered, selection of the awardee was highly competitive, particularly among non-Hungarian candidates. The award ceremony took place at the Hungarian Parliament. It was awarded from 1993 until 2010.

After 2010, the NOVOFER organization continued to recognize achievements through similarly themed honors such as the “Dennis Gabor in Memoriam Award” and the “Dennis Gabor Lifetime Achievement Award”. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

The Dennis Gabor Award presented annually by SPIE (the International Society for Optics and Photonics) honors contributions in diffractive wavefront technologies, including advancements in holography and metrology. [13]
