The Bernardo Houssay Award (Spanish: Premio Bernardo Houssay) is a distinction awarded by Argentina's Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation to honor outstanding work by scientists and researchers. The Ministry selects recipients annually through a jury of prominent scientists. [1] Presented by the President of Argentina, it is one of the country's most prestigious prizes in the field of science and engineering. [2] [3]

Contents

The award's name is a tribute to the doctor Bernardo Houssay, an Argentine Nobel Prize recipient. The Jorge Sabato Award is named in honor of an Argentine technology pioneer, and confers a significant sum of money in addition to a medal. [4]

Distinctions

The Houssay Award is aimed at researchers under the age of 45 who carried out most of their scientific activity in Argentina. It recognizes work in each of four areas: physics, mathematics, and computer science; chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology; medical sciences; and social sciences (which includes psychology, educational sciences, sociology, law, demography, geography and political science). [5]

The Houssay Career Award is given in the same categories, but to those over 45. [5]

The Jorge Sabato Award (first given in 2013) goes to researchers who excel in technology transfer and developments with economic-productive impact in sectors critical to the country's growth. [6]

The Researcher of the Nation Distinction was instituted in 2009. [7] It is organized by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation through the Secretariat for Planning and Policies in Science, Technology, and Productive Innovation. The winner is selected among the recipients of the other three awards. [8] [9]

The jury is composed of notable national scientific figures, and according to the Minister of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation, Lino Barañao:

Through these awards it is the Argentine State that distinguishes and honors outstanding people from the scientific-technological system. This award is a very important practice for the management of our scientific policy, because it highlights the essential place that science and technology have in the development of the country. [4]

Each winner receives a diploma, a medal, and a monetary prize. [10] These are personally presented by the President of the Nation and the Minister of Science and Technology, either at the Casa Rosada or the headquarters of the Argentine Scientific Society  [ es ]. [11]

In 2010 and 2011, the Rebeca Gerschman Award was also presented to women researchers over 60 years of age, which consisted of a gold medal. [12]

History

The award was created by the national government through Law 25.467, Article 25 in 2001. [13]

It was first presented in 2003 as the "Bernardo Houssay Awards for Scientific-Technological Research". They were given in three categories: Career, Consolidated Researcher, and Young Researcher. [14] [15]

The most important aspects of science and technology in Argentina are concerned with medicine, nuclear physics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, space and rocket technology and several fields related to the country's main economic activities. According to the World Bank, Argentina exports in high-technology are products with high R&D intensity, such as in aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, and electrical machinery. Benefiting from Latin America's highest literacy rates since shortly after President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento made primary education universally available in the 1860s and 1870s, Argentine researchers and professionals at home and abroad continue to enjoy a high standing in their fields. Argentine Bernardo Houssay was the first Latin American awarded with a Nobel Prize in sciences. Educated in a National University, Houssay went on to establish Argentina's National Research Council, a centerpiece in Argentine scientific and technological development, fifty years on. Many other Argentines have contributed to scientific development around the world, though sometimes having to emigrate to do so. Probably for that, the Argentine education is referred as the Latin American docta, which originates from the Latin docta (learned). Argentina was ranked 73rd in the Global Innovation Index in 2023.
