Description

The Rey Jaime I Awards were created in 1989 to promote scientific development in Spain while encouraging collaboration among scientific and business enterprises.[1] They recognize achievements in research and entrepreneurship. Each award includes 100,000 euros and a gold medal as well as a diploma. Awards are given for high-quality work done in Spain, by candidates who live in Spain or have done most of their research work in Spain.[2]

The awards are granted by the Fundación Rei Jaume I, whose honorary president is the King of Spain Felipe VI.[3] [4] The Fundación Rei Jaume I was created in 1989 by the Valencian Government and the Valencian Foundation for Advanced Studies, who organize and promote the awards.[5]

The award was first given only in the "Basic Research" area. Later, more areas have been added such as: Basic Research, Economy, Medical Research, Environmental Protection, New Technologies, Urbanism, Landscape and Sustainability and Entrepreneurship.[1]

Juries awarding the prize typically include several Nobel Laureates, who travel to Valencia to take part in the deliberations.[2] [6]

Recent events

For the 2020 prize-giving ceremony in Valencia, King Felipe VI was unable to participate due to quarantine for COVID-19, but his wife Queen Letizia took part in the event.[7] The queen, who before her marriage was a news anchor at Spanish news channel CNN+, presented awards and gave a short speech praising the "talent, effort and generosity" of prize-winners.[8] [9]
