The III Edition of “ABARCA PRIZE’ opens the deadline for submitting nominations. The selection of the winner involves two stages: the first one comprises the reception of nominations, from February 15 until 14.00 hours (Spanish time) on May 31. Nominations will be made indirectly by sending a letter of intent from a nominator/s, according to the model available at the nominations form.

Nominations may be made by companies, foundations, researchers, universities, hospitals, professional associations, scientific societies, royal academies, etc. Nominations can be submitted in Spanish or English.

As of June 1, a committee of experts made up of impartial members, will assess the suitability of the applications. This committee will determine the final selection to be presented to the jury, which will include a maximum of 5 proposals. Those entities or persons responsible for these 5 proposals will be invited to submit any documentation they consider relevant to their evaluation by the Jury, before 14.00 hours (Spanish time) on June 30.

In a second stage, the members of the jury will evaluate the documentation submitted and finally, in a meeting to be held by teleconference before July 30 and based on their best criteria, they will determine the winner proposal, with a report in which the merits that support the election will be reflected. The winner will be announced in the first week of October 2023 and the award ceremony will take place also in October.
