The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge awards are accepting applications. These awards recognize fundamental contributions in a broad array of areas of scientific knowledge, including Basic Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics), Biology and Biomedicine, Climate Change and Environmental Sciences, and Economics, Finance and Management.

Deadline: 30 June 2024

The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Awards consist of 400,000 euros, a diploma, and a commemorative artwork in each of their eight categories. In the event that an award is shared by more than one person, its monetary amount will be divided equally among all recipients.

Candidates may be one or more natural persons of any nationality, without limitation of number, that have made independent or convergent contributions to a given advance, whether due to a formal collaboration (with the nominees belonging to one or more groups) or parallel working. The awards are also open to scientific or cultural organizations that can be collectively credited with exceptional contributions to scientific knowledge, cultural creation, the fight against climate change, or the conservation of the natural environment.

Awards may not be granted posthumously, and self-nominations are also not eligible.
